Jamie O’Brien played a captain’s role throughout, and won “Man of the Match” Award also. A quick examination of the roll of honour on the trophy threw up an interesting item – the captain of the 1998 St. Vincents Dublin team that won the tournament at Na Piarsaigh was one Diarmuid Connolly, the current Dublin and All-Ireland winning captain. No pressure, Jamie, 18 years to practice and perfect your football game!
