The Throw-in

The 2021 Championship is up and running and with the main rivals to Dublin’s crown all in action, Kerry, Donegal and Mayo showed they are all hungry to push on this year. While there were easy wins for Kerry, Donegal and Mayo, will Dublin’s dominance be affected most of all by their own dressing-room with Cian O’Sullivan announcing his retirement and question marks over Stephen Cluxton’s involvement for another season in doubt.
