Veteran Hanley fired up for two big matches

There are those who reject the concept of International Rules and then there is Finian Hanley.

Along with Colm Begley and Sean Cavanagh, he’s one of the vets. Tomorrow week’s test in Perth will be the fifth season the Galway defender has represented his country, going back to his first in 2008.

He can’t say for certain his experience has been the key to such longetivity. He’s seen others like seasoned Rules players like Ciarán McKeever fail to make it this season and realised it only counts for so much.
