Take the fight to Dublin, Johnny Doyle urges players

Kildare legend Johnny Doyle has challenged the county’s big players to seize the responsibility and take the fight to provincial heavyweights Dublin.

Doyle, now working as a coach in Kildare, believes Leinster as a province, needs teams to step up and pressurise Dublin, acknowledging that ‘11 of the last 12 Leinster titles going to Dublin doesn’t make good reading for the rest of us’.

Kildare have won three of the last four Leinster minor titles but have slipped down the senior pecking order behind Meath and Westmeath.
