Paraic Smith

THE Dreadnots clubman emerged as Louth’s leading performer in their run to a second successive promotion in the National Football League.

Bagged 1-4 in the 12-point rout of Laois away from home and went on to score an impressive 1-13 from seven appearances. That made him a clear second in Louth’s scoring charts behind free-taker Ryan Burns, but it was Paraic’s play-making contribution which really caught the eye.
