Replying To jimbodub:  "When Dessie calls it quits

What would yiz think of Ger Brennan coming in?

Still has it all to prove but fair play to him

Hes doing well with Louth

Hopefully they can help a good run off the back of the Dubs game."
Get away out of that leave Ger were he is up the wee county

Replying To BarneyGrant:  "Good win by the under 20s against Galway in the Leinster semi final last night.

Hammered them and only for some errant shooting the margin might have been 20.

Playing a very good Offaly team in the final in Portlaoise next Wednesday. Offaly team is very strong but another performance like that from our fellas might do the trick and get them to an All Ireland final."
Some fine hurlers on that Dublin team alright - Kenny, Purcell, O'Dúlaing.. Nice to see a lot of the lads speaking in Irish too , C Eoin I presume.

Left that behind. Great display. Back being serious contenders whatever way it falls next week.

Wexford hammering Carlow clarifies things. We have to beat Galway next week and prize will be a final place not just third.

Not that concerned actually if we don't get a third spot if we get beaten by Galway as that would most likely be followed by a defeat by the Munster beaten finalists. So, need to be beating the big teams in Leinster really to earn the right to be considered other than mathematical contenders.


Next Sunday is effectively Dublin's All Ireland. Throw the kitchen sink at it.


Finally, regarding the steps before the Cats goal. Should have closed that game out after the Hayes goal so would not have mattered and in any event we got a call ourselves against Carlow for what was most likely a square ball. Swings and roundabouts.

Good year relatively so far and hopefully one or other or both minors and 20s will win a Leinster and make an All Ireland final, at least.
