One for all, is Gavin war cry

New Dublin football manager Jim Gavin has set the tone for his time in charge by stressing team spirit and a serious work ethic are key to getting the county back to the top of the pile.

The former U21 boss was unveiled to the media yesterday after succeeding Pat Gilroy and stressed the importance of integrating successful underage teams into the senior set-up.

“My goal is to create a team which is imbued with an ethic which puts winning for the team and the county ahead of individual glory, a team that will accept patterns of play and tactics which are designed to support the team rather than inconvenience the player, and to build a team that has a strong awareness of the traditions and the values of Dublin football,” he said.
