Cuala face reigning champions Kilmacud Crokes in the Dublin Senior Football final on Sunday
‘We’re a long time on the road’: Michael Fitzsimons ready to tick senior club title off the list with CualaParnell Park
His mother, he says, has all nine of those senior medals from a brilliant Dublin career stored away at home somewhere. Maybe he’ll make it 10 in 2025 – he’s undecided at the moment about whether to continue for another season in blue – but it’s principally about the club right now and the pursuit of an elusive county title.
If you had to lay down a long-term wager over the years, you’d probably have predicted that Fitzsimons would finish up his playing days without a county SFC medal with Cuala. In Cuala’s case, they resolved to earn promotion back to the top flight by winning SFC 2 and duly did so in 2020. But given the pandemic, promotion was parked that year. It felt like the Gods conspiring.
Kilmacud Crokes will provide stiff opposition and Cuala will be considerable underdogs, but this could well be Fitzsimons’ one and only chance to tick this box.
