Austin Donegan made a huge impact off the bench. Dublin couldn’t handle his pace and he was direct and constantly went forward with the ball. Unfortunately we played too many sidewards and backwards passes, I am always hesitant to criticise young players but surely it was instruction from coaches? Sickening to lose the way we did, very frustrating.

Austin Donegan made massive impact with his direct running.
I was actually standing behind two Dublin selectors. One inside the fence and one outside the fence with an earpiece. The one inside spotted him warming up and frantically told the other guy to tell the other dubs management team that he was coming on. Then he started shouting at players to tag him before he made any of his runs.
It was nice insight into how they were setup but also into him as a player. One to watch for the future for sure.
Liam McDonald who was wearing 3 (but didn't seem to play there) impressed too.
