O’Rourke confident Louth can push for promotion

Louth 0-17 Galway 0-11

Louth are sitting on two points in Division 2 after one win from two but, in reality, have dominated three of the four halves they’ve played. They were six clear of Westmeath at one stage in their opening game, eventually losing by a point, and looked much slicker and stronger than Galway on Saturday.

Former All Star Paddy Keenan was the inspiration at midfield, kicking three points and turning the screw in the second-half with his high fielding and hard running. But it’s the form of Brian White, Shane Lennon and Ciaran Byrne that will please fans most.
