Sutcliffe lets his hurling do the talking

Dublin goalscorer Danny Sutcliffe has told of how he didn’t leave his house in the build-up to Saturday’s Leinster semi-final so as to avoid talk his team had missed out on beating Kilkenny.

The 2012 All Star nominee also admitted he ignored the advice of his team-mates when going for the net in the 54th minute to push Dublin four points ahead.

After Anthony Daly had revealed he was told ad nauseam Dublin had missed their chance in the first game in Portlaoise, St Jude’s man Sutcliffe said he had made an effort to stay away from idle chat.
