Dubs fans have future stars in their eyes

THE Blue army may not have been on hand in their droves to witness it but a new era of Dublin dominance may just have been ushered in at Croke Park.

The Sky Blues secured a comfortable 30th Leinster minor football title and, in doing so, emboldened their status as genuine All-Ireland contenders.

Dublin chairman Andy Kettle complained ahead of the encounter that a midday start would result in a paltry turnout and he wasn’t proven wrong, though Dublin fans will surely have a couple more opportunities to watch this impressive new team come together.
