Casey hopes Dubs can give Kerry the blues

WITHOUT having notions about their standing in the game's pecking order as 2005's Leinster champions, Dublin's footballers would naturally have a better sense of their true worth.

The Allianz League, which reaches the end of its preliminary stage this weekend, has only been revealing about them to a certain extent. Fact is, they have had mixed results.

However, their performance a fortnight ago against Mayo, under lights at Parnell Park, showed once again that they are a promising side. At the same time, the team is some way off reaching its full potential, and, so far, has not done enough to be spoken about in the same terms as Tyrone, Kerry or Armagh.
