Bolton and McNamee in for Ireland

Ireland boss Anthony Tohill has finalised his squad for Saturday night’s International Rules First Test in the Gaelic Grounds by drafting in Kildare defender Emmett Bolton and Offaly attacker Niall McNamee for the clash against Australia.

Bolton replaces Cork full-back Michael Shields who is ruled out due to his participation with St Finbarr’s in next Sunday’s Cork SFC final while McNamee comes in for injured Down attacker Benny Coulter.
