We’ve a special bond: Ciarán Kilkenny

Dublin's Mr Versatility, Ciarán Kilkenny, has highlighted the Dublin team bond is one of their great strengths.

The Dubs defeated Kerry in last Sunday's All-Ireland SFC semi-final after essentially staging two comebacks in the second half - one when five points down at half-time and later when they drifted three in arrears before prevailing by two points.

“It’s such a special bond. Lads from different clubs in the county . . . how well we get on," says Ciarn.

“We would literally do anything for each other."

The Castleknock clubman who began the game in the half-forward line before switching back to the half-back line during the second half said the nature of Dublin's victory “shows the great determination and mental strength, I suppose, that our lads have".

Dublin face Mayo in the All-Ireland SFC final on Sunday, September 18.
