Ireland will take on Australia in two tests – next Saturday, 23rd October, in Limerick and seven days later, 30th October, in Croke Park. Niall was initially named on the stand-by panel but was called up to the squad after an injury to Down’s Benny Coulter. Niall, who turns 25 on 21st October, was the star of the show as Rhode recently regained the Offaly Senior Football Championship title. Niall was the team captain and was chosen as man-of-the-match.
It’s expected that there will be big support from Rhode and Offaly at the two tests and Niall is wished the best of luck from Offaly GAA County Board.
