Dessie Farrell has stated that Stephen Cluxton has not retired but has asked to be given time to consider his future as Dublin’s captain and goalkeeper. In the aftermath of their eight-point win over Wexford in a Leinster quarter-final, Farrell, back on the sideline after a three months suspension, said he didn’t know if Cluxton would be back for a 21st season. “I don’t know is the honest answer,” said Farrell of the seven-time All-Ireland winning captain’s future. “It is not that we are trying to play games here in any way,” said Farrell. That was the same for the last management team and it is the same for any team I manage.
