Trevor Giles issues warning to Dublin

Meath football legend Trevor Giles has suggested Dublin’s dominance won’t continue forever, pointing out they could easily suffer a dip in standards, like the Leinster rugby team has.

Giles had a three-year stint as selector alongside current Meath manager Mick O’Dowd though they were unable to overcome Dublin in that period and, if anything, lost ground on their neighbours and greatest rivals.

Giles, a two-time All-Ireland medallist in the 1990s, said he has no doubt the situation will change at some stage and Meath will be at least a match for the current All-Ireland champions in the future. At present, Dublin are chasing a four-in-a-row of Allianz League titles and, later in the season, a fourth All-Ireland title since 2011, while Meath’s immediate target is promotion back to Division 1.
