Dublin played Offaly in a challenge game at Sancta Maria, Ballyboden
on Sunday evening. Eventhough it rained for the duration of the game
Anthony Daly will have learned a few things. Niall McMorrow had a stormer and
must be very much in contention for a place on the starting 15 for the
championship. His deft touches and ball control were impressive especially on
such a wet surface. He also registered a few points. Others to impress were
Seanie McGrath, Paul Ryan, Conor McCormack and Jack Dougan. The starting
lineout was:
Stephen Chester, Ruairi Trainor, Paul Schutte, Simon Timlin,
Joey Boland, Michael Carton, Jack Dougan, Martin Quilty, Johnny McCaffrey,
Conal Keaney, Conor McCormack, Niall McMorrow,, Paul Ryan, Mark Schutte, Seanie
McGrath. The following subs were introduced in the second half: Kevin Byrne,
Eamon Dillon, Oisin Gough, Stephen Hiney, AlanMcCrabbe, David Treacy.
