Tribe too powerful, admits Dubs boss

SEAN LANE was downcast but in no way distraught!

The Dublin manager was gracious in defeat in Croke Park yesterday after seeing his team lose to a much more experienced Galway, but he was looking on the positives. Getting back to the final after 35 years, a Leinster title along the way and the hope of building on the good work done at minor level all represent further hope for the future, he suggested.

However, whether or not he will be involved next year is another matter. “You’re not going to ask me that question are you,’’ he said in response to the obvious question about his own future.
