Kevin Fennelly: U-turn on Liam Rushe the right move

Former manager Kevin Fennelly believes Dublin have found a ‘second lease of life’ since ripping up the script midway through the Championship and returning Liam Rushe to centre-back.

But the Kilkenny great reserved some criticism for present boss Ger Cunningham whom he claimed should have made the switch much earlier.

As far back as February, joint captain Rushe expressed surprise at playing full-forward, believing that a previous stint there in 2012 had been written off as a ‘failed experiment’.
