Gavin praises players for 'great heart and resolve'

All-Ireland winning manager Jim Gavin was thrilled to see his Dublin team grind out a narrow victory over Mayo despite shipping a number of injuries during the game.

It was not the free-flowing final that many had predicted, as the Dubs fell behind early on at Croke Park and trailed 0-8 to 1-4 at the break before they came good in an attritional second period.
