Veteran Thomas Davis midfielder Brendan Kirby is looking forward to playing in his first Dublin SFC final against Ballyboden St Enda's next Sunday after helping the Tallaght men to a surprise semi-final victory over holders Kilmacud Crokes last night.

Davis, whose team is made up completely of home-grown players, have enjoyed a remarkable rise since winning the Dublin SFC '2' title last year and were full value for their 2-12 to 1-10 win in yesterday's televised encounter.

"It's surreal," Kirby told RTÉ.

"We were confident in ourselves coming in. We knew Crokes were great champions but we have great confidence in ourselves as a group. We've been on a journey over the last couple of years, we just built momentum, momentum and when we have our full team together we can compete with them all.

"I've been playing senior 14 or 15 years and I thought this chance was gone to be honest. It's phenomenal."
