Quinn: Vin’s title win would boost Dubs

ST VINCENT’S and Dublin forward Tomás Quinn would like to believe that his club’s All-Ireland championship run could have some positive effects in the county’s 12-year wait for the Sam Maguire.

‘Mossie’, fellow attacker Diarmuid Connolly and centre-back Ger Brennan were all on Paul Caffrey’s Dublin panel last year but none played pivotal roles in the Leinster Championship success and subsequent run to the All-Ireland semi-final.

All three will be hoping that can change in 2008 and, with the Vincent’s side back-boned by players from the club’s U21 Dublin Championship-winning squad, it isn’t beyond reason that one or two more could also be called up for county duty.
