Boland: Huge year ahead for Dublin

As a physiotherapist, Joey Boland is well-placed to judge the physical conditioning of the young players joining the Dublin hurling panel.

The 27-year-old has embraced getting back into the routine of county training in January and says the new players coming through are testament to the work being done at underage level in the county.

Ger Cunningham’s side have strolled through to a Walsh Cup semi-final against Laois this weekend and Boland believes this fresh batch is exactly what’s needed to invigorate the squad.
