Barney: Dean will be patient

Dean Rock is under no illusions that he must bide his time for a starting spot in the Dublin senior football team, according to his father Barney.

The Dublin legend was thrilled to see his son kick two points in the dying stages as the Dubs edged out Tyrone by a point to win their first Division 1 title in 20 years.

Although he feels Dean has a better chance of making the team under Jim Gavin than his predecessor Pat Gilroy, Rock knows he must be patient.
