All the while, as Dublin chased glory, their journey was being captured by a documentary crew. Over the course of a long, challenging and ultimately victorious season, the Blues Sisters documentary was given great access to the team as they made their way from the training pitches and gyms all the way through the provincial and knock-out stages to reach Croke Park.
The doc aired on RTE on Monday night and the response was overwhelmingly positive. These footballers had a heap of respect from GAA fans already but the show's airing gave the wider public a chance to appreciate the toil, tears and tenacity required to achieve success.
