Flynn tells others copy ‘stylish’ Dubs

Paul Flynn hopes other teams follow Dublin’s example and start to play a more attractive brand of football.

Jim Gavin’s side are top of Division 1 with four wins from four having scored a total of 6-63, 18 more points than second highest scorers in the top flight, Kildare. The fact three of their games having been played on Croke Park’s fast pitch has undoubtedly been a factor but Gavin’s encouragement for them to express themselves has also had a determining effect.

“I haven’t noticed too much of a difference, as a wing-forward anyway!” smiled Flynn at yesterday’s launch of the Dublin senior teams’ two-year deal with Skins.
