Fanning back for Louth footballers

Mick Fanning will make his seasonal debut for Louth in Sunday's Leinster SFC quarter-final against Carlow in Portlaoise (throw-in 3.30pm).

The Naomh Mairtin clubman travelled to Australia in the winter and then on to Boston and his recent return home, along with that of John O'Brien, was admittedly 'a surprise' to Louth boss Peter Fitzpatrick.
