Spring Series back again next year. http://www.dublingaa.ie/news/schedule-2015-national-leagues

Have to say i was hoping the games were going to Parnell Park but not a big deal i suppose. Double header with the hurlers on the 7th March is nice.

Why would they use the McHugh goal as the picture on that page? Madness.

None of the home games jump off the page really tbh, but we'll make the pilgrimage anyways. I'm drumming up a bit of support with the other lads for Killarney tho .. will bring the young lad so that should swing it. I've always found Killarney to be that bit more friendly to the GAA traveller than Tralee

Soft Dubs can't deal with life on the mean streets of Tralee :cool:

In fairness on what planet would any man chose to be in Tralee rather than Killarney.

Ah come on, ya can't bate the view over the mountains, on a soft spring day in Fitzgerald Stadium.

Or Dubs heckling from the terraces.

(After a less than impressive Kerry performance 2 years ago, when Kerry only scored something like 4 or 5 points all day.)

"Fecks sake Kerry...shure I've more points than that on me drivers license"

:D:D

It is.

And it's also in bonus territory that it's not in Tralee.

Ger Brennan at it again.
Thats why i dont want him near the Dubs panel - toerag.

hit touhy with two or 3 punches but touhy only laugh at him, good win all the same i think the final will be between vincents and Rhode of offaly.

don't know if it will be easy, they said the same this summer about the Dublin footballers not a team would touch them on the way to another all ireland yet the team that did beat them didn't win the all ireland ...................

Seasons greetings to all the Dubs on here, see you all up in Parnell on the 4th. Up the Dubs!

... and if you're looking for an early run out in yer new Dublin rain coat that Santa brought, you could do worse than drop up to Parnells on 28th to see Dublin ladies v Dub Stars .. free admission - there is a collection on the day benefiting young children who have a family member diagnosed with cancer (CLIMB). Happy New Year to all

Pretty sure they were €10 last year, was a full year ago so ymmv

Well 4 days into the new year and an O'Byrne cup game against a poor Maynooth was never gonna inspire a gushing match report. It was a poor game all told against extremely limited opposition. The usual mish mash of early season football mistakes, poor passing and woeful shooting with Dean Rock being the main culprit. As with every season the problem area of midfield reared its head again. It was the one area Maynooth competed and held the upper hand until Shane Carthy moved there and exerted a little influence.

I thought O'Conghaile did ok in midfield tackled well and turned over a few balls. I think he's playing a good bit of football at wing forward for Lucan so it maybe asking a lot to slot straight in as a dynamic midfielder. Other notable performances came from Harry Dawson who showed well for ball and I thought Small from Kickhams was very assured at the back and used the ball effectively.

It was noticeable too that we played with 2 sweepers at times so it appears as though a bit of thought is going into the defensive side of things early on. Maynooth took to pulling everyone back 2nd half so it was difficult to gauge how the system will play out.

Onto Wednesday with Offaly hopefully showing a bit more ambition

Thanks, but the weeist is bed bound by 9… too late for her!!
