Dublin star Denis Bastick says robbery didn’t affect focus for final

Dublin’s Denis Bastick has revealed how car thieves made him feel ‘invaded’ in his own home just days before Sunday’s All-Ireland football final.

Bastick was asleep in his Templeogue residence with his wife and seven-month old son, Aidan, when two thieves using a fishing rod retrieved his car keys through the letterbox before making off with the Audi A4.

The car contained a sum of cash following the sale of a number of All-Ireland final tickets as well as personal valuables including his son’s buggy.
