A gulf in class was clear at Croke Park where Dublin cruised through to a Leinster SHC semi-final showdown with holders and All-Ireland champions Kilkenny next month.

The Roscommon footballers have been forced to concede home advantage for Sunday’s league fixture against Down owing to an unplayable pitch at Hyde Park and a Croke Park ruling the game could not be staged at Kiltoom.

Galway manager Mattie Murphy certainly knows a thing or two about minor hurling and reckons the Tribesmen’s true worth will be revealed in next month’s fascinating All-Ireland semi-final encounter with Tipperary.
