Canning: All the pressure on Dubs

Joe Canning has heaped the pressure on relegation rivals Dublin by claiming he wouldn’t like to be in their shoes.

The talismanic Galway forward is out of Sunday’s crucial Division 1A play-off in Tullamore with ongoing shoulder trouble. But it hasn’t stopped him offering a frank assessment of the state of affairs regarding both teams.

“They have more experience than us as a panel of players,” said Canning. “There will be more pressure on them seeing as they are league champions and fighting a relegation final. It’s huge for them. I wouldn’t like to be in a situation where you’re league champions fighting relegation, no matter what players you’re missing.”
