Niall Scully certain 'phenomenal footballer' Ciarán Archer can push on from O'Byrne Cup launchpad

With Dublin manager Dessie Farrell playing just shy of 40 players so far in the O’Byrne Cup, newcomers would do well to heed any advice from the experienced Niall Scully.

Five O’Byrne Cup appearances in the 2017 campaign proved to be the hard-working half-forward’s launchpad as a Dublin player and his stats since then are incredible.
