Cian O'Sullivan: Dublin - Meath rivalry isn't what it was

O'Sullivan's Kerry connections - and his father's reverence for the Kerry's 'Golden Years' tape - made him realise he was part of something special with Dublin

Cian O’Sullivan expects his former Dublin team-mates will face more of a challenge in a potential Leinster final against Kildare than Meath in this Sunday’s semi-final.

It’s not that the eight-time All-Ireland winner doesn’t anticipate a test against the Royals but he fully expects the county to reach a 12th straight provincial final, a 21st in 24 years.
