Australian could become Roscommon Football star

An AFL player has left his native Australia for Ireland in an effort to become an inter-county footballer with Roscommon.

Michael Dufficy, the Australian born son of a former Roscommon footballer Ollie, has moved base from Melbourne to Tulsk in an attempt to achieve his dream.

The 24-year old is reversing the trend of Gaelic players heading to Australia and Roscommon manager John Evans believes Dufficy can make the grade.
