Dublin not standing still in All-Ireland charge

O’Byrne Cup - Dublin 1-16 DCU 1-12: In years to come, Dublin GAA chiefs will hope to reflect on the week just gone as a historic one.

That Jim Gavin’s senior footballers took five points from a possible six to progress to the semi-finals of the Bord na Mona O’Byrne Cup in that period will be incidental.

Admittedly, for a youngster like Con O’Callaghan, whose 1-2 yesterday was instrumental in Dublin leapfrogging DCU into top spot in Group A, it’s been a few days to remember.
