Missed goal chances prove costly for Dublin

Kilkenny are built on their defence

Teams go for a lot of analysis and stats in the modern game but the big thing from yesterday’s disappointing contest was the failure of Dublin to score from the 49th minute.

They only scored three points in the second half to Kilkenny’s 11, while Henry Shefflin, who came on for the last 15 minutes, managed three in that time alone, using clever support play and positioning.
