Crummey became the Dubs’ defensive leader, being nominated for All-Star awards in 2018, ‘19, and ‘24.
He was sent off early in Dublin’s famous All-Ireland quarter-final victory over Limerick last year.
This spring, his last-gasp equalising point against Wexford was the crucial score for Dublin to secure promotion to Division 1A.
