Gilroy: We won’t lose any sleep if we don’t get into semi-finals

Pat Gilroy insists missing out on the Division 1 semi-finals won’t be a setback for Dublin.

In a repeat of last year’s final, the All-Ireland champions travel to Cork tomorrow knowing they must pick up something to be sure of making the last four. However, Gilroy isn’t perturbed by the prospect of finishing outside the play-offs

He insisted: “It wouldn’t be a disaster. We recognise we’ve changed the team a lot. We’re after seeing a number of fellas we hadn’t had a good look at before. We got a certain amount of benefit out of the games already. We know we’ve lots of work to do but at the same time we won’t be losing any sleep if we don’t get into the semi-finals.”
