Dublin 4W

Who: World Champions Dublin
What: Leinster Senior Quarter Final
Where: Croke Park
When: 4:30pm

Never mind all the Cliche’s the ‘rusty Dubs’, ‘great to get on their first day out’, Whatever you do! don’t let them score goals!’
Enough of the Cliche’s already!!!

 I’m sick of talking about Dublin, so Lets look exclusively at us Louth, for a moment.

We are what we are, a solid team that picks itself ,full of honest player’s with dollops of class throughout.

Nevertheless, The facts of this game will be black and white.

We need to be at 100% the whole way through to win.
Be it 100% tempo, accuracy or more importantly concentration, it has to be throughout.

Where will we win this game?

Collectively our forwards were not good the last day out. How Clarke and Brennan were allowed play in the Dublin championship 4 days before championship is beyond me but it showed in their performance against the Westies.

Hopefully the Croker arena will inspire our Forward line as a whole and give them that spur they didn’t have in Navan.

Sure, My Match ups do indicate Louth do have reason’s to be cheerful, combined with Dublin’s ‘fear of failure’ team selection...give us a chance.

But and it’s a big but

We, Louth need to take that chance today, all of them.

Things to expect: Decie Byrne to come of age, ‘inpopwetrust’ banner somewhere on the Hill, Ciaran Kilkenny to make his Dublin Senior Debut (GULP), Hopefully the biggest Shock in the history of the GAA.
