Tomorrow’s opening Championship game against Meath will be the second meeting of the sides this season
Dublin Intermediate manager Dave Dunning has named his side for tomorrow’s opening championship game against Meath in Páirc Tailteann at 2pm.
Dublin’s young Inters side have had to endure a sharp learning curve this season at adult level.
They suffered relegation from Division 2 of the league a few weeks back as the side, mainly made up of players playing at the adult grade for the first time, found the step up from minor unforgiving.
Tomorrow’s meeting with Meath will be the second game between the counties this season.
They met in the League at the end of May in O’Toole Park, Meath prevailed on the day by 0-12 to 0-08, but the game was closer than the scoreline suggested with Dublin missing a penalty late in the game.
The game tomorrow could be equally as tight and may come down to the finest of margins.
The one area Dublin will have to improve is their scoring return certainly from open play as all of their scores in the last meeting between the sides came from frees.
