Caffrey working hard to contain expectations

DON’T ever play poker with Paul Caffrey.

Minutes after his team had blown Laois and all the pre-match predictions out of the water with a 14-point victory, the Dublin manager stood in front of the media throng without a hint of emotion on his face.

Caffrey knows Dublin supporters and he knows newspapers. After this display, his lads will be virtually unbackable for Leinster, their odds for the All-Ireland will have been slashed and Arnotts will be selling jerseys by the truckload.
