Connolly was able to win high balls coming into him in the 2nd half so I don't know why they don't just play him as an orthodox FF.
If O'Gara starts the next game its a sure sign Gilroy isn't too bothered about the league.

He won 1 high ball...that I can recall. Overall he was poor I thought...I still think he is flakey mentally, although very talented. What was the story with those left-footed frees? Who does he think he is..Maurice Fitz?  ;D

Outside of a couple of backs, Connolly was the only Dub who won his fair share of 50/50 balls. He played a couple of great passes too, but the 4 or 5 wides he hit left a bad impression of his overall performance. All his wides were off his weak side, the one shot he had off his right he nailed.

I saw him slot a couple of placed balls over the bar with his left foot in the warm-up and I feared the worst! His 2nd missed free in particular, he would have knocked over with his right out of his hands no bother.

But Gilroy's not immune to making stupid decisions. Like allowing Mossy to take a 45 again. Very good freetaker from 30m in, but the chap must have a success rate of 8%-10% for 45s for Dublin.

Sigerson Cup Result - DCU 0-11 CIT 0-8. Dean Rock scored 0-6 & Eoghan O'Gara was sent off.
