Dublin Hurling

Dublin's football summer is in full swing with interim manager Dean Rock overseeing a mixed campaign that's seen the Dubs navigate early scares before powering through to the Leinster senior football championship final. Con O'Callaghan, the Dublin captain, has been a consistent fixture in the starting 15, though Rock's side came under serious pressure from Wicklow in their opener before ultimately securing progression through the province. The capital outfit's journey to the Leinster final included a dominant 0-20 to 0-10 victory over holders Louth, though Rock admitted they haven't yet produced the performances they're capable of delivering. With Ger Brennan serving a 12-week ban that's cast a shadow over the squad's preparations, Dublin will be looking to demonstrate the hunger and desire that impressed their interim boss as they target silverware.
