NICKY ENGLISH HURLING ANALYST: The winning margin didn’t flatter Anthony Daly’s men and this final signals a major shift in the balance of power SO, NOW, we know for sure: Dublin hurlers are the real deal! The easy thing to say about yesterday’s win by Dublin is that this was a great day for hurling, and that’s absolutely true. But this is more, much more than that. This is maybe the start of a changing of the guard in Leinster hurling and we can now add Dublin’s name to the list of genuine championship candidates. This National League win by...
T EN years ago, Conal Keaney made his entrance to the Leinster senior hurling championship as a substitute against Laois at Nowlan Park. Though only 18, and preparing for his Leaving Cert, his coming had been well signalled; already he had acquired poster-boy status for Dublin’s putative underage revolution. That year he starred in an historic Dublin colleges’ Leinster breakthrough and the capital’s young hurlers generally were making promising advances. In his relatively short time on Nowlan Park in 2001, Keaney showed flashes of his talent, but the day would be governed by misfortune. Dublin led by six points at...
Days like this are a rare and special thing. Dublin are the new national hurling league champions – their first title and first national crown since 1939. For those of us who’ve lived through some of the darker chapters of that interim 72 years it’s a surreal moment. But no, it wasn’t a dream. The longer Sunday’s match with Kilkenny went on, the more freedom crept into their play and the more the weight was lifted the better they hurled on what will go down in history as a special day of deliverance for Dublin. This is one of those...
Anthony Daly struggled to hide his delight after his side ended Dublin’s 72-year wait for a League title at Croke Park on Sunday. The Clare man, however, was wary of placing too much emphasis on beating Kilkenny by 12 points, clearly conscious that his team will from now on be subjected to the scrutiny and hype that attends hurling’s big sides. And yet, Daly admitted the win would give his side the confidence to take their place amongst the best teams in the country. “We would try and think that today would be a confidence day. Big days like today...
IT might have been 72 years coming — but Dublin’s hurlers gave the Kilkenny Cats a good scalding and brought some silverware home at last. Coming a week after Dublin’s footballers lost against All-Ireland champions Cork in the final few minutes of their Allianz NFL Division One final, the Blues managed to bring a smile to hard-pressed fans in the capital with their first National League hurling title since 1939. The Dubs took on the Cats at HQ and gave fans a thrilling day out after securing a 0-22 to 1-7 scoreline. Although the odds were firmly in Kilkenny’s favour,...
Dublin powered past a lethargic Kilkenny team to capture the Allianz NHL1 league title in Croke Park on Sunday afternoon – for the first time since 1939 in front of a crowd of 42,030. The Dubs were the superior team throughout and by half-time had built a six-point lead . Paul Ryan was outstanding in the first half scoring seven points which included four frees. Eoin Larkin was dismissed in the 25th minute by referee Michael Wadding who also controversially blew for half-time with Dublin on the attack . Conor McCormack finished to the net only to have the goal...
Article Source: thedubhub.ie, Cian Murphy Dublin GAA fans need to rally behind the hurlers There are very few occasions in the life of any athlete when they get the chance to make real history. But this Sunday at Croke Park is one such occasion for the senior hurlers of Dublin. By now everyone knows it’s their first league final in 65 years and they are looking for their first league crown since 1939. They’ve done well not to drown under a tidal wave of goodwill. But when it comes to making history reaching a final won’t be enough and they...
Dublin hurling manager Anthony Daly has received mixed news on the injury front ahead of Sunday’s Allianz Hurling League Division 1 final against Kilkenny at Croke Park. Centre back Joey Boland is back in contention to start against the Cats, but Liam Rushe is still struggling with a shoulder injury that could force the young Palmerstown man to miss the Dubs’ first League final in 65 years. Boland (pictured) has been out of action since sustaining a metatarsal injury in the defeat to Galway at the end of March, which forced him to sit out the subsequent draw with Tipperary...

HISTORIC CONCLUSION TO ALLIANZ HURLING LEAGUE History beckons in the Allianz Hurling League (Division 1) final on Sunday week when Kilkenny and Dublin meet in the decider for the first time. Dublin clinched a place in the final for the first time since 1946 by beating Cork on Sunday while Kilkenny, who last won the title in 2009, are back in the final for the seventh time in ten seasons. They ensured a place in the final by beating Offaly but, with other results going their way, they would have qualified for the final even if they lost. Dublin last...
Anthony Daly’s side openly targeted a league final spot last year only for it all to go wrong, but in 2011 they have seemingly turned the corner. Last year’s championship loss to Antrim inCroke Park when they seemed in control hinted at a brittleness in the squad, but the manner of their draw against Kilkenny and the come-from-behind win against Cork in Pairc Ui Chaoimh at the weekend suggest those days are over. And that Daly has managed this without a number of established players makes the feat all the more impressive, with the Dublin boss recently admitting that the...
