‘Win proved Dubs can go the distance’

ALAN BROGAN believes Dublin’s victory over Meath proves the county has rediscovered the killer instinct so badly lacking over the last two seasons.

"When we came out at half-time we knew we had to get a few scores. With their lead, if they'd landed the first few scores after the break they would have us under a bit of pressure but thankfully we got them and they were playing catch-up after that," Brogan said.

"It was a big relief to get the win. I was delighted with the way we came out all guns blazing and blew them out of the game."
