Dubs extend golden era

Dublin 1-21 Roscommon 3-06

It’s a strike-rate that may improve further this summer, what with Dublin’s seniors and minors due to engage in battles of their own, but the county’s third national title in three years at the U21 grade has raised the inevitable debate about the capital’s strengths.
