Sam Mulroy says he wants to “leave a legacy” in Louth by setting the county on a different path after years of underachievement.
Under Mickey Harte, Louth have achieved successive League promotions and last weekend’s victory over arch rivals Meath in Navan leaves them nicely placed to stay in Division Two with Kildare visiting Ardee in a crunch tie this Sunday.
However, Louth have reached Division Two under local managers Peter Fitzpatrick, now county board chairman, and Colin Kelly in the last decade or so and not been able to push on from there, with the success-starved county without a major title at senior level since the 1957 All-Ireland success.
