Dublin great Michael Darragh Macauley is the driving force behind a new basketball club in the city centre and admits that the GAA has a huge challenge on its hands in the same area.

The eight-time All-Ireland winner, who quit Dublin after completing the six-in-a-row in 2020, has a strong basketball background and is a founding member of the new North East Inner City Trojans Basketball Club.
