Daly’s Dubs ‘mad for road’, but Allen rues profligacy

Exuberant is a fair reflection of how Dublin manager Anthony Daly was feeling after their one-point win over Limerick on Saturday evening.

“We’re looking forward to a League semi-final against Tipperary and we’re mad for road. It’s great and you want to be keeping that positivity going.”

He had every reason to feel good. The win doesn’t just see Dublin qualify for that league semi-final, it ensures they will be back up with the big boys in Division 1A next year. “You’re depriving good lads of big days,” Daly says of time spent in Division 1B. “Last Sunday (against Carlow) we played in front of 500 or 600 and all the attention was on three massive Division 1A games, which is what lads want.”
