To hurt Dublin, you must play the game without fear
Loosely defined, it means a common spirit or bond existing within a group or cohort that can inspire enthusiasm, devotion and a strong regard for the honour of the group. It was evident in bucket loads coming down the home stretch yesterday.

If there is one lesson all those who aim to knock Dublin off their perch can learn from their latest thriller, it is surely that if you want to hurt them, you must play the game without fear.
