DUBLIN’S PAUL FLYNN will be available to line out for Ireland in tomorrow night’s International Rules first test after a club league game that was scheduled for tomorrow afternoon has been deferred.
Flynn’s club Fingallians were scheduled to face St Peregrine’s in Dublin Division 2 football league game tomorrow afternoon at 4.30pm.
Fingallians efforts to get the game switched were initially unsuccessful and Flynn was faced with the prospect of missing out on the clash in Kingspan Breffni Park.
But the game has now been put back to Sunday October 27th at 11am, enabling Flynn to be available for selection by Irish manager Paul Earley tomorrow.
Fingallians have had to give up home advantage though because of the change in date.
The situation is still a difficult one for Flynn as he will have to play a club game the morning after Ireland play Australia in the second International Rules test in Croke Park.
A club spokesperson explained to TheScore.ie that the league game has been delayed due to Dublin’s extended run in this year’s All-Ireland senior football championship.
Flynn was in action for Fingallians on Wednesday night in the Dublin intermediate football championship final when they lost out to Naomh Olaf by 1-13 to 0-12 at Parnell Park.
Had they won that game, Fingallians would have been in Leinster club action this Sunday against Kildare’s Johnstownbridge.
Monaghan putting it up to Dublin in the second half certainly not a walk over. 53 minutes in and all square
League final for the rebels but will have to step it up against the Dubs as I expect them to brush Monaghan aside. Think it’s time the Northern to drop the blanket defence…. shocking to watch.
It’s been adopted by all teams below Division 1, if they try to match the big guns man to man they’ll get blown out if the water! It’s no longer just a Northern style
Maybe open your eyes Owl when watching a match and form your own unique opinions instead of following the media’s approach on criticising the northern teams. Donegal for one don’t have a blanket defence for the sake of negativity. The have a system that works and forwards that can cause real damage like against Dublin last year. They scored 19 points today. What a terribly negative team….
Maybe you should watch that game again. … blanket defence on show all day. Cork put pressure on them to come out and play and NOT because it was Donegals game plan. My opinions are formed by actually watching the game and not just reading the result…
You sir, can suck my white hammer.
Good man Jimmy. … constructive yet to the point !
Well I was at the game today so i saw quite clearly how Donegal played. You clearly have little understanding of how their tactics work. You may as well stick to the blanket criticism of every ulster team playing purely negative football.
How their tactics work ????
Yes I can see it works a treat. Silly little comment.
