Brian Fenton has admitted that he felt 'haunted' by Dublin's failures in recent seasons and was determined to stick it to the team's critics in 2023.

Dublin's seven-time All-Ireland winner has remarkably lost just two Championship games in a glittering career; the All-Ireland semi-finals of 2021 and 2022 against Mayo and Kerry.
