Dublin hurling captain Eoghan O'Donnell has insisted that joining the county football panel was only ever a temporary measure.

Renowned as one of the best hurling full-backs in the game, O'Donnell said even he was shocked to be invited into Dessie Farrell's football panel after the hurlers' Championship exit.
