CIRCLE OF FRIENDS: Anthony Daly looks on as Dublin players huddle up ahead of their 2011 Allianz HL Division 1 final win over Kilkenny at Croke Park. Daly formed a deep bond with that group. Picture: David Maher/Sportsfile

Despite being gone from Dublin now for six years, the bonds I formed with the management and backroom staff are so strong that we still have our own Whatsapp group. You can always pick up the phone to any of those lads at a second’s notice but retaining that page is our way of keeping that unique dynamic we had as a group alive.
