Blow for Lake men as Heslin Oz bound

ONE of the brightest young talents in the GAA has accepted a two-year contract with an Aussie Rules club.

Westmeath’s John Heslin is believed to have joined new Melbourne franchise Gold Coast Suns but is remaining tight lipped until it is officially announced.

“I am obviously going to miss my friends and playing with the people I have grown up with, but I have to take the chance while it’s there,” he said.
