Daly glad of chance to bounce back against Clare

This being day one and all, it was hardly surprising both Anthonys played down the significance of yesterday’s lopsided scoreline in Pearse Stadium.

That’s not to say Dublin manager Daly was shying away. He acknowledged a lot of his senior players failed to turn up, but is glad of the opportunity to bounce back against Clare next weekend.

“Hard, I suppose, to put your finger on it, but we don’t seem to be able to do half-baked. There was no signs of it Tuesday, Thursday. We were happy with the training; we didn’t overdo it either this week because we thought we maybe overdid it the week of the Walsh Cup final,” he said.
