Four AFL recruiters join Nixon to run the rule over Sigerson finalists

AUSSIE RULES scout Ricky Nixon will be joined by recruiters from a number of AFL clubs in Maynooth today where he will run the rule over the young footballers in this year’s Sigerson Cup final.

Nixon’s Flying Start agency will hold its latest AFL trial camp in Gormanston College, Co Meath on Wednesday when between 15 and 25 of Gaelic football’s brightest talents will be put through their paces.

Among them, according to Nixon, will be a handful of “significant players” who have knocked back AFL offers in recent years but who have since had a change of heart.
