Seán MacMahon of Dublin celebrates with supporters
“Ten-point leads aren’t safe any more,” Jack O’Connor reflected with a certain amount of black humour in the wake of the Kingdom’s defeat at the hands of Dublin in Austin Stack Park on Saturday evening.
O’Connor’s charges had an eleven-point half-time advantage over Dessie Farrell’s Dubs, but in the second half found themselves under a near continuous onslaught as they were outscored by their guests 15 points to three.
