Anthony Daly and Brian Cody shake hands after the Leinster SHC final at Croke Park. INPHO
Anthony Daly and his Dublin hurlers are desperate to atone for their disappointing Leinster SHC final display against Kilkenny.

Speaking to hill16.ie, 'Dalo' said they are eager to make amends against Tipperary on Sunday.

"We got together straight away (after the Kilkenny game) and had a chat ... from top to bottom we just didn't perform.

"You can take the painful defeats but, like, when you just don't turn up - it's desperate stuff in your head.

"When you play a game like we did in the Leinster final, you feel nothing only really shame - that you let down your fans and your family and all that.

"All of us. I'm not saying players - I'm saying management, everybody, soul-searches ... 'Where did we let it go wrong?'

"For the first week, anyway, the two training sessions we did were just really purging ourselves and trying to get back on track.

"But look, we played Limerick (in a challenge) Friday night and played fairly well, so in fairness to them now they've picked up the slack.

"Really, until you go out on Sunday four o'clock, you can't really know where you are."
