Na Fianna win shows Dublin can compete with anyone, says Ó Ceallacháin

With the NHL starting at the weekend, could Na Fianna's emphatic All-Ireland victory boost the Dubs?

Na Fianna saved the best until last, according to manager Niall Ó Ceallacháin, after the Mobhi Road club eased to a nine-point victory over Sarsfields in Sunday’s All-Ireland senior hurling club championship final.

“We felt we started slowly the last day, so we certainly targeted that over the last few weeks,” said Ó Ceallacháin, who is also the Dublin senior hurling manager.
