Replying To brayballer: "Good point about a long run.Kerry found out that with Dinle last year.Cant see Mannion coming back but I suppose he has done it twice before.He would be a huge boost for Dublin." Exactly - our most important and best player Con, and probably our best newbie in quite a while in Charlie… Although, if I was a Cuala man, my priorities would be with the club…. ;o) Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 5341 - 21/10/2026 10:15:52 2698079 Link

Replying To brayballer: "Agreed and POCB no slouch.either." And Eoin Kennedy also - 1st cousin of Mick Fitz btw. So that is 4 Dublin starters. Ger was at the game and is sure to invite a couple of other Cuala lads into the Dublin training setup at some point. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 5341 - 21/10/2026 12:44:07 2698104 Link
Replying To Fionn: "As much as I would love to see that happen, Con and the other Dublin players from Cuala, could be goosed by the time they come back to play for the Dubs, with the shortened inter county season. With Crokes gone, perhaps Paul will have a change of heart and return for us.??? Here's hoping….! ;o)" With 13 teams still left in the Leinster club football championship Cuala are 4/9 to win it. Would tend to agree with your point about having an extended run in the club championship can possibly have a negative impact on the county team's championship hopes. In last years All Ireland club final; Paul Geaney, Tom O'Sullivan and Dylan Geaney scored 14 points between them against St Bridgets. In the All Ireland final against Mayo: * Captain Paul Geaney did not play. * Tom O' Sullivan was taken off at half time.. * Dylan Geaney was held scoreless. All competitive county teams would have the same concerns but on the positive side, it gives a great opportunity to test trial/ develop more of the panel members in National League fixtures. A good quality extended panel is essential for success in the modern game. letsgetgoing (Roscommon) - Posts: 967 - 21/10/2026 16:45:03 2698137 Link

A very disappointing Dublin SHC Final in a cold wet and windy Parnell Park earlier this evening. The bookies got it right, and much like the Dublin SFC Final, the game was over at Half Time. Crokes were 3pts to no score in less than 2 mins 1-03 to 1pt up in less than 3mins. After 15mins it was 5 wides to 1 for Crokes, such was their dominance. They led 1-11 to 0-06 at HT. Cuala actually won the toss but opted to play against the very strong wind in the first half. It backfired. Cuala only scored 1 point from play in that first half. Even against the wind in the 2nd half Crokes outscored Cuala, who only managed a further 6 points before full time. Crokes won most of the dirty ball throughout. They were hungrier, stronger, faster and fully deserved this win. It is their 8th Dublin SHC title, in their 16th Final. It finished 2-17 to 0-12 and was Kilmacud's best performance of the season. They restricted the Dalkey men to just Four points from play..! Lucey and the two Hayes brothers were excellent, and Ronan top scored with 1-06. Congrats to Crokes.

Dublin SHC 2 Final: Plunkett's 1-15 C.Chiarain 0-06 Impressive win for the Navan Road men. Ger Ryan scored 1-12 Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 5341 - 24/10/2026 22:39:31 2698470 Link
Great to see Niall Scully receive an All Star this year, after his previous award back in 2020. Fully deserved. He had a superb season for us. I had hoped we would have received more than one but it is what it is. Brilliant to see 8 different counties receiving All Stars and 11 newbies in that list. Mayo top the bill with 6, with Kobe receiving an All Star. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 5341 - 29/10/2026 08:51:58 2698816 Link

Kobe was lucky.The hype helped him.He had a quiet final.He was only Mayo s 3rd best forwards.O Hanlom lucky too.No way Jarly had better year than McMorrow. brayballer (Wicklow) - Posts: 813 - 29/10/2026 19:46:10 2698908 Link
Dublin SFC2 Final in the Naul : Brigids 0-25 v Vinnies 3-16 AET The Blanchardstown men win 4-2 on penalties. Vinnies were 7pts up in normal time, and then Brigids were 5pts up in Extra Time. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 5341 - 31/10/2026 18:00:20 2699102 Link

Brigids Keeper Gavin Sheridan was outstanding scoring heavy.A few mates of nine told me his free taking was top class. brayballer (Wicklow) - Posts: 813 - 31/10/2026 22:54:01 2699130 Link
Hard fought win for Cuala over Tullamore yesterday in Parnell Park. The Offaly men led by 1-04 to 0-06 at Half Time and deservedly so. The Dalkey men kicked into gear in the 3rd quarter to lead by 4pts but Tullamore came back at them again. Then up stepped Con with a sublime 2 pointer from play with the outside of his boot to win it for the Dalkey men late on. FT Cuala 0-16 v Tullamore 1-11 Next up for the Dublin lads is a 1/4 Final v Sarsfields of Kildare. Cuala definitely need to up it the next day.

Good interview by Ger in which he talks about being suspended for the first 2 games of Next seasons League campaign, and on unearthing new talent. https://www.rte.ie/sport/football/2026/1103/1597859-brennan-ive-learned-to-keep-my-hands-in-my-pocket/ Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 5341 - 04/11/2026 09:01:05 2699388 Link
A lot of talk online today that Pat Gilroy has joined McGeeney's backroom team in Armagh. Without getting into the business rationale of it but it would be massively disappointing to see such an instrumental figure in Dublin GAA in recent times throwing his lot in with any other top tier county.

Managers and coaches take up positions with other counties all the time. Some are more travelled than others. I have no great issue with it tbh. Par for the course. I would be more concerned with clubs in Dublin inviting/taking in or having inter county imports on their starting team. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 5341 - 04/11/2026 16:22:42 2699427 Link
