Jim Gavin says Dublin's tactical formation dictated by rivals

Dublin will tailor their formation to whatever is put in front of them, according to manager Jim Gavin.

Yesterday’s Leinster SFC final against Kildare was a high-scoring one and while Gavin was slightly dissatisfied with the 1-17 total his side coughed up, the fact that they almost hit a total of 30 points more than compensated for that fact.

“Any time you concede that much is a concern. It’s something we will have to look at but the balance is what we scored at the other end. We’ll set up ourselves depending on whatever way the opposition will set themselves up. So some teams that we play won’t be as expansive and as expressive as Kildare would be, and we just need to adjust our tactics and it’s just a great challenge if they do that.
