Dublin forwards falling short

DUBLIN footballers may still be without a manager, but the absence of scoring forwards is doing the real damage, according to Ballyboden St Enda’s joint manager Niall Brennan.

The former Cavan player has played and managed teams in a number of counties. However, he has been shocked by the poor standard of forward play in the Dublin championship since taking the helm at the southside club alongside former Nemo Rangers stalwart Dan O’Sullivan.

On Sunday, ’Boden could manage only 2-2 in their county final clash with Kilmacud Crokes, with Conal Keaney claiming 2-1.
