Sherlock gives master class

There is an old saying that there is no substitute for class and there was no better example of that than Jason's Sherlock's contribution to Dublin's fightback yesterday in the National League football game with Monaghan.
Monaghan had gone into a five-point lead early into the second half and the Dubs lost their free taker Mark Vaughn, sent off for a stupid and unnecessary foul.
Sherlock then gave a master class in full forward play.
He found space and gave a wonderful pass into the path of Paul Flynn who finished off a great move with a terrific shot to the corner and he then gifted Bernard Brogan with what should have been the clinching goal.
Brogan unfortunately tried to be too clever and gave the ball away attempting a difficult pass when a straight forward shot on goal was on.
Sherlock is almost always conceding height and weight advantage to defenders but his intelligence, quick thinking and movement are a joy to watch and this man continues to float like a butterfly and sting like a bee.
