Ger Brennan Celebrates Dublin’s Win Over Monaghan in His First Game as Manager
Dublin Manager Praises Team’s Response After Victory
In his first match as Dublin manager, Ger Brennan had plenty to smile about as his team secured a comfortable 1-18 to 2-9 victory over Monaghan in the Allianz Football League Division One at Croke Park. Following the game, Brennan expressed his delight with his players’ performance, particularly given the recent comments he made about trimming the squad size.
I’m thrilled with the response from the lads. They knew I wanted to cut down the panel size, and they’ve shown in this performance that they understand the need for ruthless selection.– Ger Brennan
Brennan’s Open Approach Seems to Be Working
Brennan sparked debate earlier this month when he openly discussed the possibility of some experienced players losing their spots on the team. However, his open and honest approach appears to have paid off, with Dublin producing an impressive display against Monaghan.
- Dublin controlled the game from the start, leading 0-12 to 0-4 at half-time.
- The second half saw Dublin stretch their lead, with a 1-7 to 1-2 advantage.
- Con O’Callaghan top-scored for Dublin, contributing 0-7.
Looking Ahead
With this victory under his belt, Brennan will now turn his focus to Dublin’s next league game, away to Kerry. He will continue to assess his squad and make tough decisions as required.
