Tuohy off the mark as Blues career blossoms

ZACH TUOHY scored his first AFL goal in only his second game yesterday as his Carlton side trounced a Brisbane side that included Pearce Hanley by 124-63 to move third in the league.

Tuohy became the first Irish-born player to play for Carlton since Monaghan native Fred Scott in May 1904, when making his debut last week, with Setanta Ó hAilpín having been born in Sydney.

While he was a substitute in Round 11, he was promoted to a starting role due to injuries to Ó hAilpín (wrist) and Jarrad Waite (hamstring).
