Why Jim Gavin’s Dublin are certain to win the All-Ireland

Ever since an early morning conversation with Jim Gavin last year, I have been totally and utterly convinced Dublin are going to win this year’s All-Ireland title.

The venue for my chance encounter with the Dublin manager was the Sheraton Hotel in Boston. It was the first morning of the All Stars Tour. Black Friday.

Jetlagged, I was wide awake at 6am. Unable to get back to sleep, I paid a trip to the Starbucks cafe located in the hotel lobby.
