Cahill wary of Oak Leaf threat

PERFORMANCES, rather than points, will be the focus for Dublin’s footballers this weekend when they follow last Sunday’s win in Killarney with another Division One tie against Derry at Parnell Park.

Pat Gilroy’s side took the two points in a game between two severely weakened sides on the opening weekend of the NFL, but Derry arrive in Donnycarney this Saturday on the back of a five-point win at the venue last season.

However, should Dublin win, it would go a long way towards staving off any subsequent relegation fears and set them up perfectly for the rest of the campaign with a number of key players to return to the squad.
