Rathdowney-Errill players warm up before the match

Rathdowney-Errill selector Enda Meagher says they won’t St Mullins for granted when the two sides cross swords for a place in the Leinster club SHC final this Sunday.

The Laois champions are set to visit their Carlow counterparts as 5/6 favourites and, with the Saints having stunned former All-Ireland champions Cuala last time out, Meagher knows they’ll have a battle on their hands.

“You still get people who would say to you that you are playing a Carlow team, but Carlow played a grade higher than Laois,” he told GAA.ie.

“You have to keep reminding people about that. From our own mental point of view going into the game you are not playing Cuala or Ballyhale straight away.

“You get another good crack at it where you are going out on a level playing ground basically. Everyone is looking forward to it and it is the same as the Banagher game really. We came into play the Banagher game, we didn't know too much about them.

“We didn't know too much about them, but by the same token everyone was looking forward to playing the game. St Mullins' will be the same, they will be thinking the same thing after beating Cuala.”
