Macauley: We’re ready to go again

MICHAEL Darragh Macauley claims Dublin’s keen edge hasn’t been blunted by celebrating their breakthrough All-Ireland football title success.

The Sam Maguire winners will return to competitive action this weekend when they travel to Dr Cullen Park to face Carlow in the opening round of the O’Byrne Cup.

It’ll be their first official game since beating Kerry in September’s All-Ireland final to end a 16-year losing streak at the top level.
