Galway beat Kerry, Monaghan stay up - but none of it compares to Cluxton’s return via IrishTimesSport
Stephen Cluxton made a return to Dublin’s panel after almost three years away. Photograph: INPHO/Ben BradyJust your normal, run-of-the-mill Sunday to end the National Football League. Two Crossmaglen managers took their counties to the top of Division Four while Armagh got relegated from Division One. Monaghan saved the best display of their campaign until the final day, beating Mayo in Castlebar to stay in the top flight for a 10th successive season.
“I saw a man’s name on the substitute’s list that I’d rather had stayed retired!” smiled Louth manager Mickey Harte afterwards. It is 20 years since Harte first faced Cluxton in a league game, his Tyrone 2003 vintage denied a win in Parnell Park by a brilliant penalty save by the then 21-year-old.
“It can only be good for Dublin that he’s there in any shape or form. It’s the kind of position where you don’t have to be 23 to play in, you can be higher up the scale and be very valuable there.”
