Sunny side up as Dublin hurlers reap reward

WARM-WEATHER training camps may have come at a price for some GAA counties — but already Dublin hurlers can claim it’s money well spent.

Anthony Daly’s squad spent almost a week at the acclaimed Amendoeira Golf resort on the Algarve last month, fine-tuning their preparations for a tilt at the Allianz League final. The resort has a top level sports centre which has attracted a host of Premier League and European soccer teams.

The Dublin hurlers spent a low-key five days at the resort, getting in up to three sessions a day — starting at 7am.
