2007

Colin Moran was named as the 2007 Dublin senior football captain and was officially confirmed as captain after Dublins opening game of the season against the Dublin Blue Stars.[1][2] He won the 2007 O'Byrne Cup for Dublin against Laois at O'Connor Park in Offaly. The 2007 National Football League proved a very dissapointing affair with Dublin finishing in fifth position and being relegated to Division two of the NFL.
