Flynn - "it's one of those great rivalries"
June 23, 2016
Dublin's Paul Flynn and Michael Newman of Meath
Paul Flynn knows only too well that Dublin V Meath games can take on a life of their own.
The Dubs go into this Sunday's Leinster semi-final as red-hot favourites and the formbook points resoundingly towards a win for the holders, but Flynn points out that football's most enduring rivalry deserves to be respected:
"I grew up watching Meath beat Dublin a lot of the time. It kind of ebbs and flows, it's one of those kind of really great rivalries," he is quoted in The Irish Independent.
"I think the last three times we played them we've come out on top but at the same time you treat each one very much as a different case.
"Especially this young team, a lot of them wouldn't have been involved in those games so they'll come in with an air of freedom and they'll be really going at it.
"It's still a Dublin-Meath rivalry."
