Dublin’s Alan McCrabbe is expecting an improved display from Galway this weekend. The Tribesmen were far from their fluent best in their stuttering win over Westmeath at Mullingar but Dubs All Star McCrabbe believes John McIntyre’s charges will be a different proposition at Tullamore for Saturday’s Leinster semi-final: “They went down there and they knew they were going into a battle and weren’t going to get things handy. Everyone was saying they were going to win by 25 or 30 points, stuff like that. “We knew that Westmeath would give them a game but we wouldn’t take too much out...
HE was the beneficiary of one of the most glaring errors so far this year, and Alan McCrabbe believes match-day officials should be able to carry out their duties without the introduction of TV replays or the score-detection technology Hawk-Eye. The Craobh Chiarain man scored Dublin’s first point in their Leinster quarter-final win over Offaly at Croke Park, but subsequent replays showed his effort was wide. “If that happened in the last few minutes of a game and Offaly lost by a point, it’s harsh,” said McCrabbe, “but I don’t know if you bring (technology) in, will it work. “The...
IAN O’RIORDAN talks to Alan McCrabbe about a memorable day at Croke Park and says the former All Star is clearly focused on the challenges ahead IT WAS unbelievable the number of times Alan McCrabbe looked forward to the championship when looking back on Sunday’s victory in the Allianz Hurling League. The Dublin midfielder was effectively saying their victory over Kilkenny will count for nothing unless they build on it come the summer, however far that takes them. But McCrabbe knows too well the dangers of getting carried away: an All Star in 2009, he saw his form dip last...
DUBLIN All Star hurler Alan McCrabbe has set his sights on winning a Leinster medal to go with his recently-earned Allianz Division One honour. The Craobh Chiaráin man, who only returned from injury in the last round game against Cork, said there is no fear of the Blues getting complacent after Sunday’s heroics against Kilkenny. Anthony Daly’s side pulled off a fine win over Clare in the qualifiers last year before being shocked by Antrim. However, McCrabbe maintains the team are confident of going on and winning a provincial title. “Oh yeah,” he said, “but we can only take one...
Enormous progress made by capital’s hurlers – but claiming the League title may just be too high a hurdle on this occasion, writes CONOR McKEON from The Herald. SO here it is. The most important event of the weekend. The big one. On one side, the aristocrats. Steeped in tradition and royalty. On the other, the ‘new money’, seeking acceptance at the highest echelons of their surroundings. But enough about the Royal Wedding… Tomorrow’s League final is a lot of things so we’ll lash out some of the clichés currently doing the rounds. Yes, it’s good for the game that Dublin...
Alan McCrabbe makes his return to the starting 15 at midfield for Sundays NHL decider in Croke Park. He has been sidelined with a groin injury for most of the league campaign. Oisin Gough is the unfortunate player to lose out. Joey Boland also comes in at center back. The team is as follows: Gary Maguire Niall Corcoran Tomas Brady Peter Kelly Johnny McCaffrey (capt) Joey Boland Shane Durkin Alan McCrabbe Liam Rushe Conal Keaney Ryan O’Dwyer Conor McCormack Daire Plunkett David “Dotsie” O’Callaghan Paul Ryan...
