Daly says learning curve must go on

THEY say you learn more in defeat than victory and, true to the old adage, Dublin’s second Leinster final loss to Kilkenny in three years yielded a pile of harsh lessons.

Learning from the masters may be another way of looking at it as Kilkenny showed their up and coming ambitious rivals how silverware, the serious sort that’s given out beneath the searing summer sun, is won.

“Lessons, lessons, lessons, we’re learning them the whole time,” admitted Dublin manager Anthony Daly.
