Of course they still lost that game, and like everyone outside of The Kingdom, he returned to his club in the hope of finding success there.
With the Dublin championship group stages well underway, Costello's club Whitehall, were sitting at the top of their group.

That was until a free kick was awarded to Whitehall, and although from a tricky position, the wind blowing, you would back someone of Costello's calibre to stick this over the bar and get the draw.
Well, he did one better as his shot dropped just short but fell so acutely and with enough spin/power on it, that it bounced off the fingertips of the keeper and dropped into the net.
Now he probably didn't mean it, but sometimes fortune favours the brave, and the forward's side refused to give in, stealing the win in the end.
As if that wasn't bad enough for Castleknock, Costello had already scored a hat-trick for Whitehall in a Dublin Senior 2 Hurling Championship victory over the club earlier this month.
Whitehall who remain top of Group 4, face Lucan Sarsfields in the final round and are in a strong position to progress to the quarter finals.
