Having barely featured in the run to the O’Byrne Cup final last month, Burns has hit the ground running in the league. The Rovers man struck 0-03 in the opener against Laois and added another 0-05 in their narrow win over Longford. After the trip to Offaly, the youngster’s tally for the league campaign stands at 2-11. He is well on course to better his personal tally from last year’s Division Three. Then, he notched 1-22.

Westerns GFC midfielder Tommy Durnin also started the game for Louth and he split the posts in the second half while Ardee St Marys man John Bingham was a late substitute.
