Dublin quartet chasing double
It was 1954 when the capital side last lifted Leinster minor football and hurling crowns in the same season but after last Sunday’s small ball success over Kilkenny, they are on the brink of replicating that feat. Eric Lowndes, Emmett Ó Conghaile, Cormac Costello, son of county board secretary John, and Ciaran Kilkenny are on the hunt for a second medal in the space of a week.
Kilkenny is the star turn of Dessie Farrell’s minor side with 0-11 to his credit in their recent 1-24 to 0-11 semi-final destruction of Kildare, while Gavin Ivory is another attacker that will require close policing by the Meath rearguard.
