Kerry will be a big ask for the footballers. They're operating a lot more defensively than in the past and certainly have the pedigree to get them over the line. The Dubs look excellent, but if they're as wasteful as they've been in the championship thus far they'll struggle to get through. I don't doubt they're the better side, but it'll be a tricky tie.

I have the hurlers down as favourites for Liam though. With two league ***les (one of them admittedly a 1B) and the Leinster championship behind them they probably have the most experience of the big day of any of the remaining teams. Technically they're as good as any and they're absolute monsters physically. Cork would be the only team I'd actually be worried about though. They're just so cocky that they'll always believe that they'll win, despite being technically lacking, somewhat like the English rugby side over the past few years. If Dublin can get over them they should take the All Ireland.

I've played with and against a few lads of the hurlers so here's hoping they do it.
