Dublin in a league of their own, says Ballyboden boss Andy McEntee

Ballyboden St Enda’s manager Andy McEntee has more pressing matters on his mind this week but admits he finds it difficult to see other football counties catching up on Dublin.

“It’s hard to see it. You look at the strength of the Dublin league. The Division 1 league is a harder competition than the championship in a lot of ways. There’s a lot of weaker teams involved in the championship but there are no weak teams involved in the league. Any time you turn up for a league game in Dublin, you’ll earn your stripes.”

Meath native McEntee can understand why people are asking questions about why Dublin received almost half of the entire funding for development last year but doesn’t deny the work put in by clubs in the capital nor the commercial attractiveness of Dublin as a team.
