Last year was worse. Team that lost first round by 20 points winning the Leinster final, beating the team that thrashed them that day.

Absolutely super display from Dublin. Well done to all.

Agreed. Very impressive performance but hard to know how good they are because Kildare were very disappointing. Young Kilkenny gave a masterclass and McCaffrey certanily looks the part. That big midfielder though from Lucan will struggle in Croker I think

Its a mad system alright. Especially since no other Provence does it.

However Leinster final against the Dubs. I suppose we might as well not complain and get on with it.

Well done Dublin but considering the varying stages of development between the 2 sides, most of the Dublin side are in year 2 no surprise. They will go close to an AI.

Mad system, Kildare must be the only minor side in Leinster in the last 2 years not to get a 2nd chance.

yeah we were all wondering why ye hadn't figured it out yet.

A bit shocked at the manor of Dublin's victory last night, was in Tullamore for the q-final vs Offaly and thought Kildare were a well-drilled and efficient outfit. Just goes to show how far ahead Dublin are really.

Was some win by the young Dubs last night now they will have to handle the pressure as one of the All Ireland favourites.

You'd want to see Cork mate. Saw them hockey Dublin in a challenge game. Dont know what they feed them on down there. All of them massive to go with it. Cussen's younger brother was full forward and he's bigger then his older brother!!

Hard to read into challenge games, Dublin hammered a highly fancied Kildare side last night & no doubt that will bring them on alot.

They weren't fancied at all, quite a lot are in their 1st year of minor.

TBH i know little about Kildare's Minors but the other day i checked the Minor All Ireland odds & they were shorter odds than the Connacht teams.

Well the Meath CB agreed to Dalton's request to call off all club minor championship games till after next weeks final.
Our lads opponents had ONE lad on the panel - seems overkill to me
