Sudden impact: Dublin manager Niall Ó Ceallacháin salutes bench boost of Hetherton and Hayes

Dublin's efficiency in Salthill was a manager’s dream. Three wides and two point attempts short across 70-plus minutes. Their opponents, for contrast, finished with 17 wides.

The praise of Dublin manager Niall Ó Ceallacháin went to his two bench pillars.

Introduced on 51 and 55 minutes respectively, the only two Dublin subs to see action, John Hetherton and Ronan Hayes, delivered game-turning impact. Hayes finished with 1-2. He also assisted Brian Hayes’ injury-time winning goal. Hetherton assisted 1-1. He terrorised Cillian Trayers and Daithí Burke under the high ball.
