Sets them up nicely for Leinster Championship.

but I just would have concerns about how easy some of the Cork forwards got scores there in both halves.

They had a lot of trouble breaking down defences when there was 14 there.

And Robbie Brennan wanted to get rid of them.

With less numbers, with 11, they're finding pockets a little bit easier.

And they really, really struggled to beat a lot of the Ulster teams for a lot of years, but ended up beating Derry and

So that's a measure of some improvement.

And to reinforce Conor's point, to be able to back up last season and go and get promotion first and foremost and then win a league title, that helps.

Well, if Meath are playing Dublin in a Leinster final, that means that Dublin have in all probability beaten Louth in a semi-final.

And that to me would be a measure of good Dublin form because Louth are really improving.

I think they'll continue to improve with the players they'll be able to integrate into the team.

over the next few years but even in the next few weeks they have players to come back on the basis of the team that played against Kildare so if Dublin are in a Leinster final

I think they'll be a much improved team from where they are now, an improved team from where they are now.

I still think there's enough Dublin players there to make a really strong team, especially up front.

I think if the game was played actually in the next week or two, maybe, maybe Meath might win it.

But if it's a Leinster final in six or eight weeks, eight weeks time, six weeks time, whatever it is,
