O'Dwyer: Sutcliffe mature beyond his years

May 24, 2012

Dublin's Danny Sutcliffe
Ryan O'Dwyer can't believe his Dublin team-mate Danny Sutcliffe is only 20.

Sutcliffe has taken to senior hurling like a duck to water and is expected to be a key figure for Anthony Daly's side in this year's championship.

"He's got a cockiness, but in the right manner," O'Dwyer said of the up-and-coming attacking star in The Evening Herald.

"He's very down to earth, very mannerly. He's so driven and so focused. On the pitch, he leads by example. He's just after turning 20 and you wouldn't think it. We're learning more off him than he's learning off us.

"He goes out and he doesn't care who he's marking. That's what I mean by cockiness, he doesn't care who he's marking. It's just another match to him and just another player. He goes out and he does the best he can, and it's really an eye-opener for the likes of myself."
