Former Hill 16 hero Ger Brennan fully committed to leading underdogs Louth into battle against the reigning Leinster and All-Ireland champions Dublin

Captain Sam Mulroy has scored six of those 17 goals but Ciaran Downey, Ryan Burns, Tom Jackson, Ciaran Keenan and Conor Grimes all possess a risk factor Dublin will need to insure against. They’ll need it all to come together in spectacular fashion to really threaten Dublin or, dare we say it, win. He might lack the All-Ireland medals of a Cluxton or a McCarthy but the two-time winner is no less a Dublin legend. When he retired at the end of 2015, just 30 but broken by injuries, he noted that he’d been playing for Dublin every single year since he was 13.
“On a human level, it’s something that is a new experience,” acknowledged Brennan of facing Dublin. “I’ve been out of the loop since 2015 so probably, emotionally, my heart isn’t pulled that much at the moment. I’m able to park and compartmentalise in my head where I’m from and what I’ve been asked to do so I’m just very much focused on the task at hand.”
“I think we’ve seen what Derry were able to do in the National League final, which is a very good template,” said Brennan. “We’ve seen Kerry and Mayo in previous seasons push Dublin close, quite often resulting in replays in the latter stages of the All-Ireland series. So there is a good few examples there of how you can get at Dublin.”
