Tadhg Kennelly is overseeing another AFL training camp in London today and some of the GAA's best young talents are in his sights.

Kildare quartet Daniel Flynn, Paddy Brophy, Sean Hurley and Luke Flynn are all taking part in the camp this week and will line out for the European Legion side against Australian teenagers in a trial match played in front of AFL scouts on Saturday.

Others who are attending the trial, with a view to making the transition to professional sport, include Tyrone's Conor McKenna, Ciaran O'Hanlon of Armagh, Kerry's Padraig Lucey, Stephen Coen of Mayo, Tipperary's Colin O'Riordan and Peter Cooke (Galway).

"We're really looking forward to the week," Kennelly told The Irish Examiner. "Spending the time together to train alongside the best young players from Australia is a new and exciting opportunity.

"It's going to accelerate their skills and show us who can handle the pressure best, not to mention the time the AFL club recruiters will get to watch and speak with them.

"The players will go back to their countries with a better idea of life as a professional athlete and they can share what they've learned with their team-mates. Long term it all helps to grow the game in Europe." Tweet
