Dubs must not fall for the hype

DUBLIN hurlers are in the quarter-finals of the All-Ireland and, let me stress, they’re hot favourites.

If they get through, Tipp won’t fancy their battle with them. But first they have to get through. Their battle is with themselves and their motivation rather than Limerick.

In the league, Dublin looked poor against Cork but the next day out they deservedly beat Galway, and the difference comes down to motivation.
