The curtain came down this evening on the All-Ireland U21 football championship which will be replaced by a new U20 competition next year.
Dublin's dominance of the football scene shows no sign of abating after they claimed their fourth success in the grade since 2010 thanks to a 2-13 to 2-7 victory over Galway at O'Connor Park.
Dublin conveyor belt rolls on quality side

Minor and 2 All-Ireland Under-21 titles for Dessie Farrell, but has ruled himself out as Jim Gavin's successor. Might have to twist his arm.
