Davoren targets League comeback
Dublin's Mark Davoren has set his sights on a return to action during the National League.
The Kilmacud Crokes forward is recovering from a cruciate knee ligament injury sustained when making his championship debut for Dublin in the win over Meath in June.
He had an operation shortly after but is now back in light training and aiming to play some part in the League.
He told the Irish Times: 'While I have tried to remain positive since I got injured, there is no denying it has been a tough time for me and I still have quite a bit more work to do before I might be ready to play once more.
'While I have got a lot of support from people inside and outside of football, it has been lonely at times putting in the effort needed to build up my fitness.
'But bit by bit I have been making progress and now I can see some light at the end of what is a long tunnel.
'Thankfully, the surgery went well for me and I have been able to do some work in the gym and swimming pool, and the next step of note will be to start twisting and turning the knee in running. That will probably come in January and from then on, it will be a case of continuing to get stronger.
'Hopefully, I will be in a position to play in the League. If that happens, then I will be very happy and I can look forward to the Championship that will follow.'
