Dubs hoping to maintain positive vibes

DUBLIN boss John McEvoy is hoping the feel good factor generated from last Saturday’s senior championship success will help his team beat Offaly tonight.

“It was a fantastic win for Dublin hurling and the whole county is enjoying the route that the seniors have taken,” he said

“We’re trying to look at the U21 grade in isolation but the senior success does provide a certain impetus and hopefully it will rub off on us. We were delighted, especially as Liam Rushe and Daire Plunkett emerged unscathed. They were back in training with us the following morning at 11.30am when we had a light workout.”
