It would be easy for Craig Lennon to allow his mind to wander, if he were that way inclined, as praise has been fired his way from every direction in recent weeks.

His swashbuckling displays from wing-back in a dream season for Louth have earned plenty of plaudits, with former Kerry manager Éamonn Fitzmaurice comparing his exploits to that of Mayo legend Lee Keegan.
