EOGHAN O’DONNELL WILL step away from the Dublin hurling panel next season to rejoin Dessie Farrell’s footballers.
New Dubs hurling manager Niall O’Ceallacháin confirmed O’Donnell’s decision when speaking to the Irish Independent.
“Eoghan has been very up front and has had an itch for a long time to have a go at the football and he has taken that opportunity now,” O’Ceallacháin said as he wished O’Donnell well.
The Whitehall Colmcilles dual star has been a mainstay of the Dublin hurlers since making his senior debut in 2016, but did previously line out with the footballers under Farrell in the summer of 2022, switching codes when the hurlers’ championship came to an early end.
That’s a big big loss to the hurlers. Always one of the names that stood out and delivered consistent performances in the last few years. Not sure what his prospects look like for football, but athletically it will be no bother to him. Well able to get about the field while being physically imposing.
Dublin football will have a very strong team next year
