Time to put Dublin on the road, says Colm Begley

Laois’s Colm Begley believes Dublin would find life more difficult in the Leinster championship away from Croke Park.

Laois are likely to play the All-Ireland holders in a Leinster quarter-final next summer (if they beat Wicklow) that may be played on their home ground in Portlaoise or at Kilkenny’s Nowlan Park.

Experienced Begley, a former Australian Rules professional, stopped short of suggesting that Dublin will be vulnerable if they play their first game outside of GAA headquarters in a decade.
