The former Westmeath footballer is looking forward to seeing John Heslin return to inter-county action.
Former Westmeath footballer Alan Mangan expects John Heslin to lead the county team as effectively as ever, despite the disappointment of missing a crucial free in the All Ireland championship this year.
The St Loman's man had a chance to secure victory over Tyrone to win a place in the All Ireland quarter finals but watched his free drift wide of the far post to leave the game level at full time.
Dessie Dolan's side out-performed expectations in the competition, coming close to beating Armagh in the same group as well.
Mangan says Heslin can fall back on Dolan's experience, if he needs it, which he probably won't:
