Dessie Farrell handed out several league debuts last weekend.
James McCarthy and Brian Fenton retired from inter-county football in December. Paul Mannion and Jack McCaffrey are unlikely to play in 2025. Conversations are ongoing with Mick Fitzsimons and John Small.
For fans not present at GAA HQ last weekend, it’s probably the first chance to acquaint themselves with the 2025 additions. The Mayo clash was live on TG4, but many people were left unable to watch due to technical issues amidst Storm Éowyn. The Irish language broadcaster will show tonight’s game live from Ballybofey.
Eoghan O'Donnell sets up Kevin Lahiff to palm home Dublin's first goal of 2025 🙌#UpTheDubs pic.twitter.com/kbe1JMN52A The Whitehall Colmcille dual star was denied a goal of his own just before his departure: Mayo ‘keeper Colm Reape stepped up with a big save as O’Donnell muscled free from Sam Callinan and Enda Hession to attempt from a tight angle.James Madden showed promise on his first appearance for the Dublin senior footballers. After six years in the AFL with Brisbane Lions, the Ballyboden St Enda’s player is re-adjusting to the round ball.
Sheridan was a somewhat left-field debutant. He looked to join attacks and exploit the 12 v 11 opportunity in the new rules. He kicked a wide from play in the first half, and miscued a ’45 late on. Conor Reid rounded him for the goal, while Sheridan had mixed fortunes under high balls. Some misjudgements stick in the memory: he flapped at one or two long deliveries in the first half, and almost gifted Stephen Coen a goal on the restart as he fisted directly into his path.
