Cian O’Sullivan savours winning moment

Cian O’Sullivan does not mince his words when it comes to his fortune-telling skills. The Dublin centre-back may be a key element of their success in claiming back-to-back All-Ireland SFC titles but he cannot predict the future.

Following last weekend’s replay final win over Mayo, Kilmacud Crokes clubman O’Sullivan now has four Celtic Crosses to go with his All-Ireland club medal.

Yet Dublin’s puppeteer, who pulls so many strings in conducting plays for Jim Gavin’s side, claims there is “not a hope in hell” he would have predicted such success following his debut season.
