Senior footballers write new chapter in history books

After more than four months and 71 games in the provinces, qualifiers, 'Super 8s', All Ireland semi-finals and finals, Dublin stand alone as the first county to win the title in five successive seasons. 

Jim Gavin’s men took their place in history with a six-point win over Kerry (1-18 to 0-15) in the replayed final, this securing the five-in-a-row and a seventh title of the decade. 

It was Dublin's 29th All-Ireland win, leaving them eight behind Kerry, who last won the title in 2014. 

Dublin are now unbeaten in 37 championship games since losing the 2014 All-Ireland semi-final to Donegal. They have won 34 and drawn three of the 37 games as follows: WINS Mayo 4

Tyrone 4 Kerry 3 Kildare 3 Westmeath 3 Longford 2 Laois 2 Meath 2 Donegal 2 Roscommon 2 Fermanagh 1 Carlow 1 Wicklow 1 Galway 1 Monaghan 1 Louth 1 Cork 1; DRAWS Mayo 2 Kerry 1

----------------------------------------------------

Dublin scored 19-172 and conceded 3-100 in their nine Championship games (versus Louth, Kildare, Meath, Cork, Roscommon, Tyrone, Mayo, Kerry and Kerry again in final replay). Twenty three players contributed to the scoring tally.

Dean Rock 1-39 (0-26f, 0-3 '45') - Dean is now Dublin's second highest scorer of all-time (combined SFC and NFL). He has scored 14-419 (461 points) in 89 games and sits behind Jimmy Keaney (492 points, 30-402, 104 games).
