‘We’ll just enjoy the day’

ANYONE looking for some pearls of wisdom from the Dublin team regarding their prospects in the All-Ireland series would have been disappointed.

Manager Paul Caffrey, not unexpectedly, was more concerned about the achievement of the three-in-a-row, about enjoying the winning of what he regarded as the most difficult championship of the three.

I don’t think there was many of ye asking Sligo about the All-Ireland last Sunday,” he said to the assembled media. “So, I don’t think we should be any different!”
