Veteran Sherlock refusing to give up Dublin dream

HE will be 34 later this year and hasn’t played inter-county football in 11 months but Jason Sherlock isn’t prepared to admit his days as a Dublin footballer are numbered just yet.

Pat Gilroy informed the 1995 All-Ireland winner that he was no longer part of his plans two months ago and he admitted yesterday that he was missing the involvement and that it had made for a “strange” summer.

The pair met for a chat last New Year’s Eve when Gilroy explained his intention to shake up the current panel this year and, though that was an early signal, the blow was still a hard one.
