Rebel plight has Daly in dark

THE little preview box above this piece tells its own story. Anthony Daly’s Dublin are 1/3 to defeat title hurling aristocrats Cork in tomorrow’s NHL opener.

And the men from the capital don’t even have home advantage.

Given the backdrop of everything that has happened on Leeside over the past four months, this game is attracting unprecedented attention for a league clash. The experts deem it a slaughter of the innocents by the topflight’s underdogs. Daly though is too experienced to get sucked in by this.
