Mick Bohan’s side face Kildare in their Leinster championship opener tomorrow.
Not that you’d really know. The build-up has been subdued, to say the least. That seems to be the nature of the split season. Onwards.
But the Leinster ladies football championship could be more competitive than ever this year. Kildare are up from intermediate, and they recently won the Division 2 league title to boot. Could they emulate the respective rises of Meath and Kerry? Dublin had a decent league run, just missing out on a Division 1 final spot. They lost to Kerry and Meath early on, but moved through the gears with wins over Mayo, Galway, Waterford, Cork and Armagh. Mick Bohan’s side finished with a 7-10 to 1-4 victory over the Orchard county, but the eventual champions fielded a significantly weakened team.

They licked their wounds after a disappointing 2022 All-Ireland quarter-final defeat to Donegal through the league, winning five and losing two as they finished third.
