Crossing over as Collins closes in on Gaelic football goal

FORMER Carlisle United boss Roddy Collins last night met with officials of St Joseph’s O’Connell’s Boys with a view to becoming the Dublin GAA club’s manager.

Collins said a deal that would see him dump soccer for life as a junior Gaelic football manager was effectively done.

He said all that remained was to gain a firm commitment from players and officials last night that their ambitions matched his.
