AFTER 57 games, the streak had to end. Brian Fenton had been a constant until the start of the 2024 championship. Suspension ruled him out of the Leinster SFC quarter-final against Meath.

Even in a routine win, Dublin missed him. Dessie Farrell’s side cruised to a 16-point victory despite the fact they were wiped on long kickouts. They won just two out of the six that went beyond the 65-metre line. Meath’s return was 6/9.
