Dramatic u-turn sees Fitzpatrick take over as Louth manager

FORMER Louth defender Peter Fitzpatrick has been dramatically chosen to manage the county football team, a week after ruling himself out of the running.

It’s understood that Louth officials were keen on Navan O’Mahony’s club manager Sean Kelly to succeed Eamonn McEnaney in the hot seat.

But after failing to land their man they then turned to Fitzpatrick who answered his county’s call at the 11th hour.
