Dublin sweat on Gilroy decision

EAMONN FENNELL says the Dublin players will do everything in their power to convince Pat Gilroy to stay on as manager for a fourth season.

Speculation about the possibility of the St Vincent’s man stepping down intensified last week after coach Mickey Whelan quit his role.

Fennell, who joined Gilroy’s club from O’Toole’s earlier this year after protracted wrangling, concedes there is genuine concern among the players Gilroy will be the next to go.
