Laois give McNulty the nod

FORMER Armagh star Justin McNulty was last night appointed Laois senior football manager.

The Mullaghbawn man, full back on the Orchard county's 2002 All-Ireland winning side, received the support of officials and delegates at a scheduled meeting of the county board.

The ratification was dealt with swiftly and though no duration for the role was announced, many present expressed hope that McNulty be given time to develop the squad which has fallen down the pecking order in Leinster football in recent seasons.
