Kevin Flynn - at the centre of the latest crisis to hit Dublin hurling

Dublin's hurling crisis went from bad to worse last night when the senior squad refused to train under the interim management team of John Bailey, Mick O'Riordan and Tommy Ryan last night.

The trio has replaced Humphrey Kelleher, who was ousted from the job last week following the Dubs' disastrous league campaign and their disappointing showing in their Leinster Championship defeat to Laois last month.
