Kilkenny key as Dubs enter first leg of treble bid
For the first time Dublin have reached the deciders at minor, U21 and senior levels in the same season, with Shay Boland’s youngsters aiming to start the ball rolling on a successful note here. Dublin were troubled for long periods in last Saturday night’s semi-final against Westmeath in Parnell Park before pulling clear by four points.
A late goal by Oisín O’Rorke clinched victory for Dublin with Emmet Ó Conghaile, Ciaran Kilkenny and Cormac Costello also in excellent scoring form. That trio along, with corner-back Eric Lowndes, were all part of the Dublin minor football setup that clinched their spot in the Leinster final with success over Kildare on Saturday night.
