Dublin make light of Wee effort

Leinster chairman Martin Skelly was moved to describe Dublin as potential All-Ireland champions after this convincing U21 Leinster final display in Páirc Tailteann.

Indeed, the man standing beside him on the podium afterwards wasn’t in the mood to disagree, captain Kevin O’Brien describing it as “step four of six” as they regained the provincial title the county won on the way to winning the top honour two years ago.

Skelly could be forgiven for throwing such garlands, such was Dublin’s might and skill, exemplified by Ciarán Kilkenny who commanded the game and finished with 1-6 to his name.
