New Dubs manager to build on Daly work

Newly-appointed Dublin senior hurling manager Ger Cunningham has set himself the challenge of building upon the work of his predecessor Anthony Daly.

Admitting that the Sky Blues had achieved high standards in previous years, Cunningham reflected: “Looking at it from the outside, Dublin would have had ambitions to try and improve on where they got to in 2013, when they won the Leinster championship, got to an All-Ireland semi-final and within a puck of a ball of the final.

“When that didn’t happen [in 2014], there was a certain amount of regret, and it just shows where the standards have gone.
