Mayo game the target as Paul Flynn eyes Dublin return

Last season may have seen his run of four consecutive All-Stars come to an end but Paul Flynn says it was the most enjoyable season he had in a Dublin jersey.

A groin problem and taking up a new, retracted role protecting the defence on occasions didn’t help his cause for personal honours although his All- Ireland final and semi-final replay performances were key to his team’s ultimate success.

The lack of an All-Star nomination didn’t in any way take away from his third All-Ireland title. “The first one (2011) was very special but last year we just had this group and it was the best craic I ever had throughout a year whilst working hard and having a very competitive environment.
