Bombers boost as mighty Quinn hits his stride

MICHAEL QUINN will become the fourth Irishman to feature in the Australian Rules top flight this season after the Longford man was named in the Essendon team for tomorrow’s trip to Adelaide.

The 20-year-old became a sensation last season after a rapid conversion to the sport, making his Premiership debut just two rounds into the season.

Quinn went on to make six senior appearances in all for the Bombers last year but has had to bide his time this season due to injury. However the former Longford minor has been in scintillating form for the Dons’ reserves Bendigo over the past few weeks.
