Next up: v Laois/Wicklow, Nowlan Park, 4th June 4th Have swept through the league although not every performance has beenbut were not always imperious. Panel strength has been is impressive but there’s are still still nagging concerns about how the loss of Rory O’Carroll and Jack McCaffreywill impactcome summer. If the defence can be shored up, the abundance of talent up front can do the rest.

Key player: In Jack McCaffrey’s absence the burden falls on James McCarthy to provide counter-attacking pace. An excellent league has also broadened his repertoire to include man-marking on the likes of Michael Murphy.
