Costello can drive Dublin to another All-Ireland decider

It is fair to say that if Dublin progress to their second successive All-Ireland final, then the exploits of dual player Cormac Costello will have had a huge bearing on their success.

The Whitehall Colmcille player has been hugely impressive in the Dubs’ run to the last four in both football and hurling championships, 4-18 (0-4fs) amassed for the footballers following a series of exceptional displays.

However, it is in the small ball that Costello has proved most influential, particularly in his novel redeployment at midfield after a relatively subdued showing from corner-forward in Dublin’s opening round provincial loss to Wexford.
