Dublin face Limerick for the first time since 2007 at the Gaelic Grounds on Sunday.
The previous weekend, they crashed and burned under the unforgiving bright lights of Croke Park.

Lorraine O'Sullivan / INPHO / INPHOThis time Pillar’s side finished up on the right side of a one-point score difference, 0-14 to 1-10, but it took a late Mossy Quinn ’45 to clinch a much-needed win.
The visitors were odds-on favourites and started brightest on their Ennis Road Escape, but this youthful, new-look, battling Limerick side soon kicked into gear. Full-forward Darren Horgan scrambled home a goal, Dublin began to fade, and the hosts were within one point at the break, 0-9 to 1-5. For Dublin, it was another largely disappointing outing. They were off the mark with points on the board, but serious questions remained.
