Replying To Viking66:  "I imagine Clare will be doing something similar to ourselves, while Dublin will be going hard at it. Could be wrong of course.
Agree, Im not sure why he hasn't given the other keepers a chance. Why waste their time calling them up if you arent going to play them? Its not as if Mark's puckouts are going to get much better the more you play him at this stage in his career. His strengths are his strengths, Keith won't be learning anything new about him by playing him in the Walsh Cup or League."
I was hoping to see Cian Byrne from Rosslare get a chance or even Derry Mahon. Not saying Mark needs to be dropped but we need to be ready for when he calls it a day. Just on todays panel any idea when Conor Hearne and Cian Molloy are back ready to play? As Viking said in a previous post Cian Byrne is working up match fitness , some are due back to training over the coming weeks i.e Chin , Jacko, Recks while a handful are still undecided if they are coming back i.e Mac, Dunbar and Jippo

Agreed. That is a strong Dublin team but a great opportunity for the new lads to throw the kitchen sink at it and make it harder for some of the regulars to waltz back in

We've been waiting for young lads to step up and put pressure on the more established players to create more competition in our squad. Hopefully tonight is the start of it its a huge test best of luck to to the lads

Not getting the rub of the green here at all. Every 50/50 going against us. Delighted with the attitude and effort. Dublin first touch very good for this time of year

Encouraging enough first half tbh, difficult conditions and had to play into a big wind against what is quite an experienced Dublin team, decent enough intentions at times too given the fact it's in January and the fact it's spilling rain, hopefully we get the win so we get another game on Sunday

Would say the shots that dropped short in the first half cost us, Dublin seemed to miss nothing against the wind in the second half in comparison

Didn't make it down this evening and didn't see it either, result is what I more or less expected given the team sheets, anyone stand out in particular?
