Dotsy
David ‘Dotsy’ O’Callaghan isn’t getting worked up by the prospect of facing Kilkenny. Anthony Daly’s Metropolitans face the Cats in Sunday’s Leinster SHC final at Croke Park, but it’s a familiar pairing by now and O’Callaghan says Dublin can only focus on their own preparations” “People can say what they like about Kilkenny this Sunday, good or bad. I don’t worry about it,” he tells Wednesday’s Irish Examiner. “The one thing we did at the start of this year, we decided to focus on ourselves, on trying to get the best out of ourselves; that’s how we’ve operated all year...
DAVID O’CALLAGHAN is better placed than most to assess the effect of Dublin’s recent league final triumph on the health of hurling in the capital. O’Callaghan’s nine to five takes him around to schools in the city centre as a coach employed by the Dublin County Board, seeking to lure youngsters towards Gaelic Games. “Without a doubt it has brought an added buzz to it,” he said. “Some of the schools you’re going into, you see the kids wearing Dublin jerseys and they’d be more aware of hurling having seen our game against Kilkenny. But you’re trying to get parents...
Winners don’t take much time to savour their victories; they immediately set their sights on the next competition, the next trophy to chase. Liverpool in the ’70s and ’80s were like that. Legend at Anfield has it that Bob Paisley would go around the dressing-room with a box of league championship medals from the previous campaign at the start of pre-season training. He dished them out like sweets to those who had played the requisite number of matches. No formality. Then, out on to the training pitch. Looking forward, always looking forward. It’s also the Manchester United way under Alex Ferguson. No...
St Mark’s man increases Dubs’ options for Wexford duel DAVID O’CALLAGHAN is expected to be back fit for next Sunday’s Allianz National Hurling League Division 1 clash with Wexford in Wexford Park after sitting out yesterday’s victory over Offaly in Tullamore. The St Mark’s sharpshooter suffered a bout of ‘flu before the weekend and despite being named in the team, was replaced close to throw-in by Daire Plunkett. However, manager Anthony Daly said that the St Mark’s clubman was expected back in training tomorrow night and he will be available for selection next Sunday as Dublin look to push on...
