Championship Preview: Things will get better, more competitive, in Leinster. Won’t they?

Dublin have won nine of the last ten Leinster football titles, five of the last seven U21 and four of the last six provincial minor titles. Now for the bad news....

Let’s deal with the depressing stuff first. Some you’re probably familiar with, like the fact that Dublin have won nine of the last ten Leinster senior titles. The corresponding numbers for the U-21 grade in the province are five of the previous seven and it’s four from six in minor. So far, so glum. Even worse is the fact that there is no army amassing that looks likely to break their hold on the east.
