Dublin SFC Final/St Vincent's v St Brigid's:History weighs heavily on this St Vincent's team, but the way they despatched the favourites, Kilmacud Crokes, in last week's semi-final leaves them well placed to end 23 years of hurt.
They also need a lift after Friday's defeat to Ballyboden St Enda's in the Dublin hurling final.
St Brigid's, the 2003 champions, arrive in the comfy position of underdogs.
To underestimate their strengths would be a mistake forwards Rory Gallagher and Kevin Bonner will punish. Recent All Star Barry Cahill is also in form along with fellow Dublin representative Declan Lally.
St Vincent's bring their intercounty talents. Tómas Quinn overshadowed Mark Vaughan against Crokes and you can be assured Ger Brennan will hold the middle again, while the midfield pairing of Hugh Coughlan (Tipperary) and Michael O'Shea (Kerry) took the Magee brothers to school. Dual enigma Dermot Connolly could also do with contributing a few scores.
All things considered, if St Vincent's can squeeze the St Brigid's attack like they did Kilmacud, title number 25 should finally make its way up to Marino.
