Henry ready to lead the line as Dublin bid to make amends

FOR David Henry, the seasons must be starting to blend into one another.

Year on year, the pattern is strikingly similar. Dublin struggle for form in the league, swagger to a Leinster title once the summer arrives and then see their All-Ireland ambitions implode in the month of August.

On the county panel since 2002, Henry broke onto the side three years later and was a virtual ever-present at right-corner back until last season when Pat Gilroy opted to try him at centre-half forward.
