Irish blows in Davis Cup

The Irish tennis selectors have rushed back into consultation following two hammer blows to the side originally selected to play Hungary in next months Davis Cup tie at Fitzwilliam.

Only half the team originally selected remains intact, with US-based Conor Niland and British-based John Doran being ruled out with injuries.

The options are thin on the ground as the selectors face a difficult task to find suitable replacements.
