Secondary education helped achieve first-rate results

GAELIC GAMES:  While a breakthrough was threatening for years, it was the 2006 Dublin Colleges team claiming the All-Ireland that helped set the current senior team on its path to success, writes MALACHY CLERKIN  

ON THE day before the stone was rolled away, here’s where Dublin were. The 2006 Division One and Two league finals were played in Thurles, but the level of cheek required to call it a double bill that afternoon would have made Don King blush. Dublin v Kerry was so far down the card below Kilkenny v Limerick you could have mistaken it for the terms and conditions.

Endure one game to get to watch the other. In the end, Dublin came through by 0-17 to 1-6, but nobody pretended that the cup Ronan Fallon lifted bore any great significance.

When Tommy Naughton said afterwards that their level of performance certainly wouldn’t do come the championship, even he couldn’t have guessed how right he’d be.

Dublin departed Leinster at the first fence to Westmeath before losing all three round-robin qualifiers to Offaly, Clare and Limerick. They hurled into July, but it was dispiriting stuff. Where were they? To the naked eye, they were nowhere. Lost, with little but hope for a map.

That said, hope wasn’t nothing. It was an article of faith that few counties were putting more into their underage toil than Dublin. They’d won a Leinster minor title the previous year for the first time since 1983, had made the final in 2004 as well. But it was straying into cliché territory by this stage to say that breakthrough was inevitable.

The hurling world was tapping its watch.

Hope needs success like the crops need rain – a little few spots here and there just won’t do.

Dublin longed for a cloudburst.

When it came, it was small and it was huge. It was a goalkeeper who didn’t want to be in goals playing the game of his life. It was a midfielder who was as much a footballer as a hurler waltzing through the day, standing out as most people’s man of the match. It was a free-taker who missed nothing all afternoon and has gone on missing next to nothing since.

On a May Bank Holiday Monday in Carlow, it was the combined Dublin Colleges team beating St Flannan’s of Ennis, 1-11 to 0-11, bringing the Croke Cup back to the capital for the first time in the process. You wouldn’t say it changed everything, but changed plenty.
