Dolan gets the nod

Dessie Dolan has been handed a starting role by Westmeath manager Pat Flanagan for their Leinster SFC semi-final clash against Louth on Sunday at Croke Park (throw-in 5.50pm).

Dolan, who featured as a substitute in Westmeath's slender 0-15 to 1-11 win over Wicklow, will start at full-forward in place of Martin Flanagan.
