Ballyboden have their day

Ballyboden St Enda’s 2-8 St Vincent’s 0-10 (Dublin SFC Final): Anybody who knows the impressive breadth and rich vitality of Ballyboden St Enda’s would never describe them as giant-killers.

But surely their achievement in Parnell Park yesterday must rank as a great day for the underdog.

Claiming only their third county title and first since 2009, this will rank as their most momentous victory yet, attained by downing a three-in-a-row chasing St Vincent’s side with a spectacular opening 15 minute salvo.
