Daly dwells on positives for Dubs

His Dublin side were beaten by Cork on Sunday but manager Anthony Daly took solace in his players’ performance, and in particular Danny Sutcliffe’s five points from play.

“He had a great game the previous week at midfield and wing-back, and then you’re shoving him up wing-forward. He has a great attitude, a positive lad, though he’s a lot to learn yet. He’ll have to stay working hard at it, but he’s a good positive out of Sunday.

“Otherwise Paul Schutte had a tough battle with Pat Horgan, Michael Carton didn’t play in the league last year and he did well, Alan McCrabbe is coming back — there are huge positives there for us.”
