Dubs Football squad just announced for the clash v Rossies on Sunday:-

Comerford
Murch Doran Byrne
McGarry Howard Gavin
Kilkenny McMorrow
Breathnach Bugler Scully
Small Con O'Dell

subs:
O'Sullivan, McEneaney, McMahon, Kennedy, Tyrrell, Smith, POCB, McGinnis, Lundy, O'Callaghan, Quigley.

TBH I will be surprised if we line out with Con starting.
If he felt his hamstring in the last game, he should not be risked this weekend.

I hope Con is playing. Unbelievable player and you want to test yourself against the best. Enjoy the travels tomorrow.

Replying To tirawleybaron:  "Dublin need 2 wins realistically.

based on What they did v Mayo and Kerry - they wont do it.

Galway, Roscommon are playing very well - Dublin are playing terribly"
Well thats one win in the bag now.

Well well well..... wow.
You called it Brayballer.... fair play..!

Clearly that was the Best performance by the Dubs in this new Ger Brennan era.

A scoreline that no one predicted, a result that few fancied, and an amount of 2 pointers that must be a record for the Dubs in one game....

That first half was something else. 1-01 to 1-14 at Half Time.
2nd half was all about controlling the lead. FT 2-07 to 1-21

We finished with 9 different scorers and 5, yes FIVE, 2 point scores...
Luke top scored from play with 1-01.

A draw v Armagh in Croke Park might just be enough to keep us up....

Green shoots of progress - but lets follow it up now in the remaining 2 league games.....

Big win for our Hurlers today also.

To score 1-31 was very pleasing.

Hopefully we can keep it going now.
Scoring difference could be a major factor in our promotion attempt.....

Given themselves a decent chance of staying up, good performance on the road.
5 2pters is the story of the day
That's the magic number, you'll win plenty of games with that tally of 2pters

Had ye backed today…thanks for that. I couldn't see ye losing today considering ye needed the points.

If Clare beat Wexford - by no means a given then - two comfortable wins over Down and Carlow (always a tough enough encounter in Carlow) will see them promoted on points difference. You would think.

You would be warm favourites still Barney. But at the same time we have won on all 3 of our trips up to Ennis in the League this decade, so you never know......
