A weekend to remember for proud father John

Carlow senior hurling manager John Meyler enjoyed a landmark weekend that saw him celebrate his 30th wedding anniversary, victory for Mount Leinster Rangers in the AIB Leinster final and a first Premier League goal for son David.

Meyler was present at the KC Stadium on Sunday afternoon as David’s second-half effort helped Hull City to secure three valuable points against Liverpool.

But he kept in touch with events at Nowlan Park via text message and after Mount Leinster Rangers created history by defeating Oulart, a super Sunday was complete when David popped up with a clinical left-footed strike to floor the visiting Reds.
