FORMER DUBLIN AND Meath football stars Tommy Carr and Bernard Flynn will have a special interest in Saturday’s EirGrid Leinster minor football opener between Westmeath and Wexford.

Carr’s son Garrett has been named to start at full-back while Flynn’s son Billy is selected alongside him in the full-back line at left corner-back.

Tommy Carr played for Dublin as well as serving as a manager of the Dublin, Roscommon and Cavan senior football sides.

Bernard Flynn won two All-Ireland senior medals during his Meath career (1987 and 1988) and five Leinster senior medals.
