Every year, RTÉ creates a Google Drive with all their championship match footage and distributes it among intercounty teams. Dublin’s win over Wicklow is there, a single camera with no commentary to capture an expected outcome.

Every week for this column, I select a handful of games and go to work. Keep track of some generic stats, tag a couple of key events, note who is playing well and consider why. Few stakeholders in the association are as willing to share as analysts are. Performance analysis can be tedious work, everyone concerned appreciates the need to make it as painless as possible.
