Preparation has to be 100%, warns Philly McMahon

Philly McMahon isn’t concerned that Dublin’s provincial dominance will leave them vulnerable entering the final stages of the championship.

Jim Gavin’s men coasted to a 10th Leinster football title in 11 seasons earlier this month, coming through their three games by an average winning margin of 19-points.

Kerry footballer James O’Donoghue yesterday insisted you can’t replicate a tight, hard-fought championship game in training, but corner-back McMahon believes Dublin’s inter-panel competition has off-set the lack of meaningful games they’ve had thus far in the championship.
