Daly: league switch to Croker will boost rivals

ANTHONY DALY has admitted Dublin’s hurlers will lose a considerable advantage by the decision to switch their forthcoming Division One home games against Tipperary and Kilkenny from Parnell Park to Croke Park.

Daly: league switch to Croker will boost rivals

Daly’s side beat the reigning All-Ireland champions by nine points at the Donnycarney venue last year and while he supports the move to headquarters to stage the games as part of double-headers with the footballers’ NFL fixtures, he feels their opponents don’t like coming to Parnell Park.

Speaking after watching his team beat the Dubs Stars in Castleknock on Saturday, the Clare native said: “I’d say Tipp and Kilkenny are looking forward to it as well. There is an element about Parnell Park and we might be harder to beat in there. But it (Croke Park) is great experience and you have to look at the bigger picture.
