Sexton: ‘There was a sense of unfinishedbusiness and unfulfilled potential’

Back-to-back county final defeats were endured in his first two seasons back. Throw in the 2013 loss, for which Sexton was centre-back, and there was a chunk of the Castlelyons team who owned nothing but runners-up medals.

You won’t find Leo Sexton on the Castlelyons bus bound for Croker. He’ll be there waiting on Jones Road to greet his travelling teammates.

The 35-year-old Castlelyons defender is a resident of Dublin’s northside. Has been for several years now. Croke Park is 10 minutes from his front door. Croke Park is passed every morning on his way to work.
