Kildare manager Cian O'Neill believes it is time for Dublin's Leinster neighbours to get their own houses in order.

"They're blazing a trail there but it's up to the other counties, ourselves included, really to focus on what we're doing and hope we can get better at it," the Lilywhites boss remarked to The Irish Independent at yesterday's Leinster SFC launch.

"Sometimes I feel too many people worry about what Dublin have and what they don't. Really, they should be focused about how they can improve their own house.

"Whoever plays Dublin, you know what you're up against, and it's a credit to Jim (Gavin), his management team and the players because they've done it consistently.

"But in each sport everything goes in cycles, no more than Leicester at the moment.

"People were talking about five in a row with Dublin a couple of years ago and they got caught on the hop by Donegal, so it's up to every other team to see if they can produce another performance like Donegal that day."
