Johnny McCaffrey
IF JOHNNY McCaffrey was destined for greatness, days like Sunday’s All-Ireland semi-final were still an awful long time in coming. As a minor, he captained both the Dublin hurlers and footballers in the same season (2005), a feat which reflected not just his natural leadership abilities, but also his potential in both codes. SHOWPIECE Five years after making his senior hurling championship debut in a disastrous Leinster defeat by Westmeath in Portlaoise, he’s leading out Dublin against the reigning All-Ireland champions for a spot in September’s annual showpiece. “To be honest, I always believed we could make the breakthrough,” McCaffrey...
Dublin captain Johnny McCaffrey insists that Kilkenny are under the greatest pressure going into Sunday’s Leinster hurling final. The Cats have already lost the Walsh Cup and NHL finals to Anthony Daly’s charges this year and McCaffrey claims there is a lot of pressure on them not to lose a third decider to the Metropolitans. “We feel the pressure is on them,” the Lucan Sarsfields clubman told the Irish Sun. “They have been beaten by Dublin in two finals this year and they won’t want to be beaten a third time. We will use it to our advantage, we are...
Matthew McCaffrey has been promoted to the Dublin starting XV for tomorrow’s ESB Leinster MHC semi-final against Westmeath at Parnell Park. A younger brother of senior captain Johnny, McCaffrey replaces Donal Gormley at wing back in the only change from the side that defeated Wexford in the quarter-final last month. Dublin (MH v Westmeath): Cormac Ryan; Eric Lowndes, Cian O’Callaghan, Seán McClelland; Chris Crummey, Jamie Desmond, Matthew McCaffrey; Colm Cronin, Glenn Whelan; Emmet Ó Conghaile, Conor McHugh, Ciaran Kilkenny; Paul Winters, Aodhán Clabby, Cormac Costello.

A Cian Murphy Article. Anthony Daly and his brilliant league final winning hurlers have been paid arguably the ultimate possible compliment – being compared to the 1974 football breakthrough of Kevin Heffernan’s Dublin footballers. Senior Dublin GAA officials believe Daly has the power to become the new Kevin Heffernan of Dublin GAA and be an inspiring icon for the game in the city. And Dublin chief executive John Costello says that the landmark league final victory by Daly’s hurlers has the potential to emulate the feat of the Dublin footballers who triumphed under Heffo 37 years ago and rescued football...
Article Source: Hill16 Dublin hurling captain John McCaffrey says that underage titles need to be converted into senior success if the Dubs are really to be considered among hurling’s elite. “We’re not going to be remembered for winning under-age. We want to be remembered for winning senior inter-county titles. We all came up through the ranks together and that’s the thing we want,” says the Lucan Sarsfields man who captained Dublin to both minor and U21 Leinster Championship success. McCaffrey would love to see Dublin fans converge on Croke Park this Sunday for the Allianz NHL Division 1 final against...
