Begley 'can't wait' for first Rules game

Former Laois minor Colm Begley is itching for his first taste of Aussie Rules action after returning to new club, the Brisbane Lions, from a Christmas break.

The 19-year-old Begley, who signed a two-year rookie contract for Brisbane along with fellow O'Moore man Brendan Quigley in November, has been taking part in extra skills sessions with Lions assistant coach Daryn Cresswell this week.
