Lyons lets Dubs get 'feel' of Clones

Dublin football boss Tommy Lyons took his squad up to Clones last night to acquaint them with the ground ahead of Saturday's All-Ireland qualifier clash with Derry.

The Dubs have played few games outside of their spiritual home of Croke Park in recent seasons and boss Lyons is keen to have them tuned in to the new surroundings for the make or break clash.

Derry played at the Monaghan venue as recently as last month when they faced Tyrone in the Ulster championship opener and are much more used to the ground.
