And for them, I think more than the young lads who will probably beat Kilkenny more than once in the rest of their careers.

I think yesterday was kind of a, it was the culmination of something.

But the Leinster final will be interesting that way because I think there's a commitment to give 20,000 tickets for free to school children and stuff like that.

Obviously, the Leinster final as an occasion has been a bit of a damp squib over the years and it hasn't been helped.

by poor games but Dublin and Galway they seem to be pretty well matched I just I can't and this could be famous last words I can't see a blowout there one way or the other and I think the more people you get into Crow Park albeit for a Saturday evening game that won't suit people travelling from Galway at all could make that a much better occasion than a lot of the recent Leinster finals I think a Leinster final Conor without Kilkenny will bring something to it I think I just think without Kilkenny a Leinster final there's a

Yeah, and like they're a good team and they're becoming more recognisable and they've beaten Galway, Kilkenny and Limerick now in the space of sort of 10 months or whatever it's been.

They've got promotion to Division One.

So the next obvious step is to go and win a Leinster Championship.

The hard e-books who support Dublin Hurling through thick and thin, they'll be there.

But as we all know in every county, but especially Dublin, there's a very dormant, floating voter base there who might need something to kind of latch on to soon.

A little bit like this year, like Tipperary were gone, Kilkenny were gone.

We had those unique semi-finals as they were at the time, Dublin Cork and Limerick Clare.

And Dublin brought a lot to that because they were so fresh to it.

And I think they could bring something similar to it this year.

No.

Could I just say on Offaly about them getting to the quarterfinal?

It's a great thing to happen, but I think they are now the most successful team that have come up into the Leinster Championship.

They're the first ever to make the knockout stages.
