Kilmacud Crokes manager Robbie Brennan said Dublin's loss is the club's gain when it comes to Paul Mannion whom he reckons is finished with inter-county football.

Mannion, still just 28 and at the peak of his powers, top-scored for Crokes with 0-4 at Parnell Park as the favourites came from behind to win a ninth county title, as they beat St Jude's 1-7 to 1-6.
