Mullins: Mind game is Dubs’ biggest challenge

Dublin legend Brian Mullins says the All-Ireland champions’ greatest challenge in defending their crown is a mental one.

The St Vincent’s man was part of the Dublin team that last put back-to-back titles together in 1976 and 1977 and believes the ambition will come from the players.

“I think in all sports the high-achievers, the successful outfits do, at times, struggle with motivation and having to sustain levels of energy and commitment and dedication that is required,” he said.
