They rise to the big teams in other years they hadn't the luck. Fair play to them anyway. Sure anyway give them a few years and they'll be known as the exiles   Its a bit premature to be calling the dublin hurlers "Exiles" There was not one non dub in the starting line up last night. Ryan O'Dwyer came on and got alot of verbals and hard hits from the tipp lads. The other two counrty lads on the panel are Niall Corcoran from Galway and Mossy O'Brien from Limerick. They have been with us a few years. Great result for dublin last night. Keaney was wasted with the footballers. Tougher tests face dublin like going to places like tullamore and wexford and getting results. Our aim is to stay in division one  and to get a bit of consitancy in our performances. Hopefully we can acheive both goals.           Absolutely, if the fella was from a proper county they would have had a county board motion banning him from playing football years ago. Fantastic talent.         I couldn't agree more Deise, Keaney has been a revolation since returning to the small ball. Yes its only February but Keaney and O'Dwyer has added something new to the dublin forward line.   The County board are slowly realising that if they encouraged our good hurlers to stick with the small ball that we might be able to seriously compete in Leinster.

Super Dub what club ya from?
Agree with keaney 14 points out of 1-16 is slightly worrying at the same time bit over relient having dotsy off frees can only benfit him iswell as i was never fully confident of him

galway are the team to watch this year

Good win for Dublin yesterday. Early in the year still but it's only a good thing for confidence to be beating the All-Ireland champions. Keaney was superb, he never should've left the hurling - i never rated him for the footballers anyway. When McCrabbe is back there will be two capable free takers available.

Round 3

Fear for Wexford in this, Cody made 6 (strengthening) changes to the team that lost walsh cup last week.   Cork Vs Galway. Cork usually pull a few results out in Pairc Ui Chaoimh, this might be one of them, even if Galway are the form team.

Well, thats goodbye to Clinton Hennessey for at least a month, looks worse every time ya see it, would not have been out of place in WWE !. Far as I can recall, the first time he has been sent off at senior level for either club or county, having said that, there would be a lot of lads down this way think Power is a better 'Keeper anyway, i suppose we will find out over the next month. Happy with the result, Tipp 5 points up at H/T, Deise reduced it to 4 with 13 men, and 8 of last years beaten semi finalists missing. Will prob end up fighting with Tipp for last Semi final place now, behind KK, Galway and the Dubs.

Gas tackle by hennessy yesterday  He nearly beheaded your man. Cork walloping galway here

Had my own hurling game today so couldnt make it down but for me this is the most satisfying mwin so far, this is the game we usually stuggle delightd.
