Late Rules call-up delights McGrath

Just 48 hours before the Ireland squad depart for Australia, Fermanagh footballer Marty McGrath expressed his delight to have received a late call-up to represent his country in the two-Test International Rules series which begins next Friday.

McGrath only learned of his call-up at 3pm on Thursday afternoon, after Dublin's Bernard Brogan was forced to withdraw from the squad due to club commitments.
