Former Tyrone star Enda McGinley says Louth can’t be completely written off in Sunday’s Leinster senior football final against Dublin (1.45pm).

Bidding for their 13th consecutive provincial title, the Dubs are 1/25 favourites to retain the Delaney Cup once more as they get set to meet Mickey Harte’s men at Croke Park.

McGinley, who won three All-Ireland titles under Harte, feels the gap between the two teams has narrowed give their recent form.

"It's one of those games, you look at it, immediate reaction is Dublin win, possibly comfortable enough," he told the RTE GAA podcast.

"But then you look at Louth, you look at how well they'll be set up, how much resilience they've shown throughout the campaign and the progress over the last couple of years and you look at the man on the sideline.

"Then you start to get a wee bit less cocky about your prediction. You start to hedge your bets. There is definitely a 'but’.”
