Flanagan wants return of exiled Westmeath trio

NEW Westmeath manager Pat Flanagan has confirmed he wants exiled trio Des Dolan, Denis Glennon and John Keane to return for the championship.

Former selector Flanagan last night took charge of his first session as Westmeath boss after being installed by county officials on Wednesday evening.

The Offaly native takes over in an interim capacity for the rest of the season following the player heave which saw Brendan Hackett quit just seven months into a three-year reign last weekend.
