Massive lift for Louth as McEniff strengthens links

LOUTH footballers have received a huge boost with the news that Brian McEniff will play a more significant role for the Wee County in 2012.

This year, the Donegal legend served in an advisory capacity for the north Leinster outfit before their Leinster Championship opener against Carlow. But Louth boss Peter Fitzpatrick has persuaded the former All-Ireland winning manager to come on board as a selector for next year’s campaign.

McEniff will fill one of the vacancies left by the departure from Fitzpatrick’s backroom team of former Armagh player Martin McQuillan and ex-Armagh manager Peter McDonnell.
