Boys in Blue looking forward to draw

By Fionn Teague

After Dublin’s defeat to Meath, the Boys in Blue are now set to face either this weekend’s Connacht or Munster winners in less then 3 weeks.

The draw will be shown on the GAA’s YouTube channel at 1:30 pm.

The 31 time all Ireland champions will be going into this draw as third seeds due to their defeat to Meath at the weekend.

In the third and final year of the ‘Super 16’ format the third seeds will start their All Ireland journey with a game away from home against one of the provincial champions.

The Connaght or Munster champions will face one of the third seed teams [Dublin , Tyrone , Roscommon and Monaghan] On the Weekend of the 17/18th of May.

Fans are beginning to wonder where Dublin will play their home game in round two at the end of May.

Many are also speculating that because of the drop off in support the county board might host the match in Parnell Park rather than Croke Park.

Even though Dublin are entering this years All Ireland at a disadvantage, they could still make some noise in the competition as they have an experienced squad who know how to get results in big games.
