ALAN BROGAN is hopeful Dublin’s All-Ireland U21 football success last Saturday night can be the springboard for a future assault at senior level.

Brogan says Dubs can build on U21 success

Brogan, who captained Dublin to win the All-Ireland U21 title in 2003, believes Cork, who were successful at that grade in 2007 and 2009, serve as the perfect benchmark in drafting underage talents onto the senior stage.

“A couple of years ago, Cork had a couple of great U21 teams and you can see the fruits of that now. The likes of Michael Shields have come through and it really made a huge difference. Cork had the core of a good panel there and when they added in these six or seven guys from those U21 teams, it’s really made a big difference.
