Leinster will be all out to get back on Railway Cup track

LEINSTER'S footballers take on Munster in Portlaoise tomorrow (3pm) looking to debunk the myth that the eastern province has fallen off the pace in the modern era of the Railway Cup.

Without an All-Ireland winner since Meath in 1999 and bereft even of a semi-finalist over the past two seasons, the statistics seem to back the assertion that Leinster is indeed struggling to keep up.

The province's manager is Luke Dempsey, who is looking to capture a third interprovincial title in three years this autumn.
