NOLAN OFF ROYAL WATCH BUT NOT OFF LAOIS!!

What a proud moment in the life of our young Dub, Kevin Nolan?  He will never forget 18th May last when the unthinkable happened and Queen Elizabeth II visited Croke Park.  Kevin was privileged to be selected as a Football ambassador to meet her, President Mary McAleese, Prince Philip and other dignatories (see photo courtesy of Sportsfile).  One might wonder if he's woken up from this "dream" yet but let there be no doubt that he has.  Next Sunday, Kevin has the honour of representing Dublin against Laois in Croke Park in the Leinster Championship.  Can his Summer get any better we ask? While Kevin will be fully focused on the Laois game at 4pm I'm sure he will have time for some further Royal watching when Meath take on Kildare at 2pm.  Heartiest congrats Kevin and best wishes for Sunday next to you, Paul Griffin, Rory O'Carroll, Cian O'Sullivan, Craig Dias, selctor Paddy O'Donoghue and all the Dubs!
