Billings 'never expected' county final

Dave Billings has revealed the extent of his feelings for St Vincent's ­ despite landing a crushing blow on them as UCD boss in Sunday's Dublin SFC decider.

Billings is a Vincent's legend from the 1970s and picked up six county football titles as well as three hurling titles as a player with the club.

Reflecting on the 0-16 to 1-6 win over his beloved Vincent's, he said: "I had great times as a Vincent's player and I never expected that I'd be going up against them in a county final.

"I think it'll definitely be a once off thing."
