Jack McCaffrey's ability to burst into threatening positions remains one of Dublin's chief attacking weapons and Sunday's All Ireland Final offered another reminder of his class.

The Clontarf clubman clipped a point and helped create several scoring opportunities for Jim Gavin's accomplished outfit.

It has been a hugely productive campaign for Ciaran Kilkenny, who notched three points from play against Tyrone at Croke Park.

The Castleknock star remains an influential figure for Dublin with the standard bearers claiming a fourth All Ireland title on the spin.

In the opening period when Dublin were encountering problems Paul Mannion delivered with style and substance.

Mannion netted a crucial penalty, while his work rate and industry also helped Dublin turn an early four point deficit into a commanding seven point interval lead.
