Danny Rogers ready to emulate Dublin pal Cormac Costello

Danny Rogers wasn’t in a position to catch Cormac Costello’s winning three-point turn off the bench for Dublin in last Saturday’s All-Ireland final replay, but news of his buddy’s heroics came as no surprise.

Costello was a year behind Rogers at Ard Scoil Rís in Artane and they were teammates at Whitehall Colmcilles before the latter embarked on a soccer career that has led this week to his first involvement with the senior Republic of Ireland squad.

With Keiren Westwood injured, Shay Given retired, and Gary Rogers busy with Dundalk, there is every chance that Danny Rogers would be called on against Georgia or Moldova in the event that anything happened to Darren Randolph.
