We have nobody to blame for that but ourselves and Na Fianna were deserving winners. But a system that sees club players – at all levels – idle…

With both sides already qualified for the knockout stages, the not inconsiderable carrot on offer was avoidance of treble chasing Ratoath at the third last hurdle. However, while the…
