Time runs out on Carlton's chase of Quigley

Brendan Quigley will continue to line out for Timahoe and Laois next year after Australian Rules club Carlton Blues missed out on signing the talented 21-year-old as an international rookie.

The Blues were weighing up the possibilities of signing Quigley and received confirmation from the AFL last Friday that the young midfielder, despite his previous stint as a international rookie with Brisbane Lions, would be eligible for the forthcoming international rookie draft.
