Ireland’s Series hopes suffer double blow

ANTHONY TOHILL’S task of winning the Cormac McAnallen Cup in Australia became a lot harder at the weekend when Mayo’s Pearce Hanley, pictured, was arrested and Kerry’s Darran O’Sullivan was ruled out of the panel.

AFL star Hanley, who plays with the Brisbane Lions, was fined by the club for an incident in the Australian city on Friday.

The Herald Sun reported the Mayo man had been out with team-mate Sam Sheldon when they were picked up by officers for failing to obey police direction.
