'CAPITAL MAN IN CHARGE IS GETTING BEST OUT OF PANEL'

THERE'S a unity that has come from having an all-Dublin management team since the appointment of Niall Ó Ceallacháin as the new boss in January, believes Conor Burke.

Ó Ceallacháin is well known in the capital's hurling scene and guided Na Fianna to the All-Ireland club title at the start of the year before taking the intercounty hot-seat, ending a run of outside managers.

Pat Gilroy was briefly in charge in 2018 but, either side of that, the Dubs had Anthony Daly, Ger Cunningham, Mattie Kenny (who had been hugely successful with Cuala) and Micheal Donoghue as county manager.
