Dublin goalkeeper Stephen Cluxton took up an unfamiliar role for his club Parnells in their senior football championship opener against St Sylvester's tonight.

The five-time All-Ireland winner lined-out at centre half-back in Balgriffin as Parnells went down 0-19 to 0-6 to a Sylvester's outfit which had mounted a commanding eight-point lead at the half.

In Garristown, St Oliver Plunketts Eoghan Ruadh missed the injured Bernard Brogan's influence as they went down to the Brian Fenton-led Raheny by 3-8 to 0-14 in their Group 1 opener.
