Galway under-21 manager Anthony Cunningham believes that his charges are full prepared to meet the challenge of Dublin in Saturday's All-Ireland semi final.

In his first year with the Galway under-21s, Cunningham is bidding to guide them to the All-Ireland final, but they will face a tough test against the Leinster champions and the former All-Ireland winner knows this.

"Dublin will be a tough side to beat," stressed Cunningham. "They have three or four seniors and in the likes of Liam Rushe they have some very strong players. David Treacy and Peter Kelly would be others, so they are a good side.

"Dublin is a county also focusing on developing its players and they have been putting a lot into the underage. There are no massive stars in our side and we feel we are well prepared and we are up for the challenge. Of course, we are expecting a major battle over the 60 minutes from Dublin." Tweet
