Walsh claims Dublin are favourites
June 19, 2009
Kilkenny manager Michael Walsh says Dublin will start as favourites in the 2009 Leinster U21 hurling championship final.
The Cats are holders but they struggled to put away Offaly last time out, while the Metropolitans enjoyed a comfortable win over Wexford.
Add in the fact that the provincial decider is being staged in Parnell Park and Walsh believes his men must be considered underdogs:
"Dublin will be clear favourites to win a Leinster final which will be held in Dublin. That will be added pressure on us, but all we can do is our best.
"Dublin will be delighted with their victory, having beaten a good Wexford team by a big, big score. We'll have to improve greatly to take them on, but that's our job from this moment."
