Another demolition job as Dublin cruise into final

IT must be a major concern to Dublin manager John McEvoy that his players will go into next month’s All-Ireland U21 hurling final against Galway without a decent challenge under their belts.

His talented side have cruised into the decider with a series of comfortable wins, none more so that this 26 points drubbing of Antrim at Páirc Esler on Saturday.

Nevertheless, the Metropolitans’ involvement in both underage title deciders is a source of further encouragement to those who have delighted in the huge strides being made in the county in the promotion and development of the game. The Tribesmen will ask more serious questions of this Dublin team, and McEvoy is hoping to have the answers when they meet at Thurles on September 10.
