Not for the first time in his tenure, Jim Gavin has hailed the 'great mental resolve' of his Dublin players.

The All-Ireland champions extended their unbeaten run to 32 games with a hard earned draw against Donegal today and, speaking to RTÉ Sport in Ballybofey, the Dublin manager remarked: "I thought we showed great mental resolve, great grit.

"In difficult conditions we scored 1-5 from play and limited Donegal to 0-3 in the second half.

"I couldn't but be proud of the boys going home tonight after eking out a point.

"I thought we really controlled the first half, up to the 31st minute.

"Donegal got two really good goals, as you'd expect from a top-class side like they are.

"But the guys just regrouped at half-time and we stuck with our game-plan, our process."
