Cunningham hails new boys in blue

Dublin coach Anthony Cunningham believes the talent of the up-and-coming players in the panel trumps that of their senior colleagues.

As they count down to their Leinster SHC opener against Kilkenny in Parnell Park on Sunday, the former Galway manager is enthused by just how proficient they are with the basics of the game.

“I would definitely say the younger players coming through, their skill level is higher. They’re probably closer to a Galway or a Tipperary player or a Jason Flynn.
