Seán Óg watched by Aussie Rules teams

Seán Óg Ó hAilpín will be watched closely by representatives from Australian Rules club Carlton during the International Rules series, the Evening Echo has reported.

Sources in the club confirmed they are aware of Setanta’s older brother and plan to see him in action over the course of the two international series games.

“Australia coach Garry Lyon tipped Sean Óg and his brother Setanta, as the men most likely to stand between his team and an unprecedented third consecutive series victory.

Seán Óg's younger brother Setanta began a professional career with Carlton last year. He is playing for Na Piarsaigh in the Cork County Hurling Championship but will return to Melbourne for pre-season training on November 3.
