Farrell's career may be over

DUBLIN footballer Dessie Farrell's career may be over. Surgery yesterday confirmed that the All-Ireland medal winner sustained medial and cruciate ligament damage to his right knee in Sunday's qualifier victory over Roscommon.

The veteran attacker fell to the ground clutching his knee just six minutes after he was introduced as a substitute against Tommy Carr's side on Sunday.

The Na Fianna stalwart, who won an All-Ireland title in 1995, missed Dublin's entire NFL campaign before returning to the squad for the start of the championship.
