Dubs hotseat candidates keeping heads down

THE leading candidates to replace Tommy Lyons as Dublin manager are keeping mum about their intentions.

Outgoing selector Dave Billings has emerged as a strong runner but said yesterday: "There was a press conference only last night and it would be ungracious to be thinking about anything like that so soon after it.

"To be honest, I haven't even thought about it. The county board have to deal with it and I'll give my full backing to whoever they decide to bring in."
