A goal-shy team now managed by someone whose previous side didn't require a single green flag in four of five games to win an All-Ireland seems a match made in heaven.

One goal across five Leinster SHC games was partly a reason for Dublin’s failure to get out of Leinster last year but then it seems almost inherent.
