Cats don’t scare defiant Dotsy

THERE was a time, not so long ago, when if Dublin were meeting Kilkenny in a Leinster final (as they do in Croke Park this Sunday), any interview with a Dublin player would contain the obligatory mantra — “Kilkenny are a great team, great players, great achievements, daunting opposition”.

Well, not this Sunday, not in this interview with Dublin’s David ‘Dotsy’ O’Callaghan.

Yes, there’s respect, but there’s something very different about the Dublin hurlers this year, about their approach. It’s not about the opposition anymore, you see, it’s about themselves.
