Brogan says Gavin faces talent logjam in capital

Bernard Brogan admits that finding roles for the latest stream of up-and-coming Dublin footballers will be one of Jim Gavin’s biggest challenges.

Fellow forward Eoghan O’Gara touched on the riches available to the county recently when he remarked that Gavin could choose any one of a dozen players for his forward line alone. And the next generation made its biggest statement yet last weekend.

Conor McHugh was the star in Saturday’s All-Ireland U21 final rout of Roscommon when claiming 1-6 from play, while Paul Mannion and Cormac Costello completed a frightening full-forward line that accounted for 1-18 on the day.
