Louth become the latest roadkill as Dublin’s Leinster Championship dominance stretches to 13
“My tune hasn’t changed on that in a number of years. This year is slightly different in that we’re now going to step into the real competition I think, and that’s going to be very interesting and very exciting.”
“It’s hard to accommodate everybody,” continued Farrell on a structure that accommodates the provincial championships. “I get that and I’m sure it’s very much on the radar of the GAA and Central Council and Congress in terms of what to do with the provincial competitions. It’s something I’m sure they’re going to look at.”
The game was decided in a 20-minute period of the first half when Dublin scored 1-10 without reply. Sam Mulroy, who led the scoring charge all afternoon for his side, registered Louth’s opening three points, the third of which was probably the score of the day and put the Wee County 0-3 to 0-2 ahead after a dozen minutes.
Dublin were suddenly racing through with a five on one situation and the inevitable outcome transpired, Con O’Callaghan squaring for Paul Mannion to slap home from close range. It was a flashing red light warning for Louth of the danger they faced with their kick-outs. With the number of men they had around the middle, when Louth didn’t win possession on those 50-50 restarts they were very open at the back.
Louth, on the other hand, were too reliant on the brilliant Sam Mulroy – who scored 0-10 of their total. They only had five scorers and carved no clearcut goal chances. They did, however, register the last three points of the first half and the first two after the break, but nobody in Croke Park sensed a comeback was under way.
