Caffrey says Dubs must lift game to match Kerry

THE Dublin management know they’ll need to raise their standard to compete with Kerry in Saturday week’s Bank of Ireland football quarter-final in Croke Park.

"The challenge for Dublin is, can we improve enough and take them on and beat them," asked selector Paul Caffrey yesterday.

"The way the draw has panned out, the top four at the start were Tyrone, Armagh, Kerry and Galway. Now, three of them are still left and Kerry are one of them. Their option was a Northern team or Dublin in the quarter-final.
