After beating cancer, Nestor continues his winning ways

Blackhall Gaels Alan Nestor with Seanie Geraghty (Ballinlough) during the Meath Division 2 FL Final at Pairc Tailteann.

Blackhall Gaels got their hands on the Meath FL Division 2 silverware yesterday but, for former Meath senior footballer Alan Nestor, the win had extra significance.

Earlier this year, the younger brother of Royal 1999 All-Ireland winner Nigel was diagnosed with testicular cancer but, after winning the biggest battle of his life, he made his return to the football field yesterday.

A Sigerson Cup winner with DIT in 2013, Nestor was introduced as a substitute late on in Blackhall's 0-12 to 0-11 success over Ballinlough at Pairc Tailteann.
