Monday morning, just past 10. It's about 19 hours since Paul Mannion and Dublin were crowned Leinster champions but already the celebrations are over, the empties cleared away.

"In times gone by, you definitely would have been able to celebrate it a second day," said Mannion. "The condensed season now, with another big game coming up in two weeks, it doesn't allow for that."
