DUBLIN GAA hailed Brian Fenton for ‘ten remarkable seasons’ with the Sky Blues.
They issued a statement confirming the inter-county retirement of the outstanding midfielder from Raheny.

The two-time Footballer of the Year, 31, has called time on a senior career that began in 2015 and seven All-Ireland SFC titles.
Fenton, who also claimed six All-Stars, played his last game for the Dubs as they relinquished the Sam Maguire with a quarter-final loss to Galway in June.
Dublin county board chairman Mick Seavers said: “Brian was an integral figure in the incredible success enjoyed by Dublin over the past decade.
“He is a hugely talented footballer and fan favourite who will forever be considered one of the greatest players to grace the field in a blue jersey.
“We thank Brian for his unwavering commitment to Dublin football.
“We wish him and his family all the best going forward.
“And we look forward to welcoming him back to Parnell Park as he continues to play with his club Raheny.”
The news of Fenton’s departure comes at a time when Dublin are still reeling from bidding farewell to fellow midfield stalwart James McCarthy, who announced his retirement earlier this month.
