Rock ace in pack for in-form Ballymun

Last year’s beaten finalists, Ballymun Kickhams, got their Dublin SFC campaign up and running on a positive note as they defeated St Brigid’s by 2-13 to 1-10 in their Group 4 clash at Parnell Park on Saturday afternoon.

Dean Rock was in exceptional form for the winners, accruing a personal tally of 1-10 over the hour, with his 21st-minute goal putting daylight between the teams.

Rock dominated the first half as he landed four points from placed balls before rising highest to meet Ted Furman’s delivery to palm past Shane Supple in the St Brigid’s goal.
