Underdog Hannon called up to Kildare panel

Underdogs football star Robbie Hannon lost the battle but may have won the war after his call up to the Kildare senior football panel.

The former Portsmouth soccer trainee has concentrated all his efforts on gaelic football in recent years and despite being beaten by Dublin on Sunday the Underdogs hero has done enough to win a Kildare trial.

Hannon said: "I've got a chance now with Kildare and I'm going to try and grab it with both hands - I'll be trying to impress them."
