Con O'Callaghan says he and his Cuala team mates will have to be at their best on Sunday as they look to down Kilkenny champions O'Loughlin Gaels in the Leinster club SHC final.

The Dalkey club are ranked as 5/6 favourites for the game in Portlaoise and a victory will see them become the first Dublin club to win the Leinster title since Crumlin's 1979 triumph.

O'Callaghan isn't getting carried away ahead of the weekend however.

"O'Loughlin Gaels pose a huge threat," the Dublin forward told RTE Sport. "They're after beating the previous All-Ireland Champions Ballyhale Shamrocks and beat Oulart the Ballagh who beat us last year.

"They have a huge amount of experience and they've come through a couple of tough challenges so we need to prepare ourselves body and mind for the battle ahead."
