Dublin’s need was greatest against Galway

It certainly appeared that way at Parnell Park as Dublin put on the sort of second-half spurt normally associated with a warm summer’s day in the Championship to burn off Galway and secure their top flight status.

Whether Cunningham will be happy to accept that explanation behind closed doors is another question entirely. A few weeks ago, he gave a similarly magnanimous response when his side laboured to victory over Carlow in the Walsh Cup. Just minutes later, he could be heard laying down some home truths in the dressing-room. It’s hard to imagine he didn’t have a strong word with his players again yesterday after watching them get brushed aside at the business end of this game.
