Good start half the battle for Dubs as Louth again fall flat

THE clash of Dublin and Louth looked like being the tie of the Qualifiers but it turned into a major anti-climax. Maybe we shouldn’t be that surprised.

In recent times, Louth are always able to raise their game and perform well against Meath but generally fail to bring the same intensity when it comes to playing the Dubs.

And so it was on Saturday.
