A recap of the Gaelic football club action from the weekend, when Ballymun Kickhams claimed the Dublin SFC title.

Dublin SFC

Ballymun Kickhams won only their fourth county title, and their first since 2012, with a dominant 1-19 to 0-8 victory over reigning Leinster champions Ballyboden St Enda’s.

An increase in the second quarter from the north side club saw them establish a 0-14 lead to 0-4 at the midpoint. From there, they showed enough class to see the result, with a late penalty from Dean Rock sealing a famous victory.
