Lyons confirms Dublin resignation

Dublin manager Tommy Lyons ended his three year association with the capital's senior football team tonight, surmising that, "Three years in the Dublin job is enough for any sane man!"

Speaking at an arranged press conference at Parnell Park, Lyons sought not to opt for an extension of his existing contract, and ended heightened speculation, which has raged since Dublin crashed out of the All-Ireland race last month to finalists Kerry.
