DESSIE DOLAN WILL make his first appearance for Westmeath in over 18 months in Sunday’s Bord Na Móna O’Byrne Cup opener against Athlone IT.
Dolan took a break last year from the inter-county scene as he opted not to link up with the Westmeath squad in the wake of his club Garrycastle’s loss to Crossmaglen Rangers in the All-Ireland club final replay.
Dolan has been named at left corner-forward for Sunday’s Group C game in Hogan Park in Moate in what will be his first game since coming on as a substitute in June 2011 when Westmeath lost out to Antrim in the first round of the All-Ireland qualifiers.
Westmeath also welcome back goalkeeper Gary Connaughton and midfielder David Duffy into their side after the duo had been sidelined through long injury lay-offs.
