Dublin star Bernard Brogan expects Westmeath to be 'flying' for Sunday's Leinster SFC semi-final. Despite their indifferent display against Meath, the Dubs are hot favourites to progress to a fifth consecutive provincial final, but Brogan believes a packed Croke Park will bring out the best in a Westmeath team who needed extra-time to see off Wicklow in the last round. "When they come up against Dublin, they'll be flying," said Brogan, who pulled a hamstring in last year's corresponding clash which the Dubs won by two points. "Everyone likes to go out against Dublin in Croke Park in front of a full house. I don't expect anything less than a tough challenge against them because they're very well organised and they're tough to break down." Brogan isn't complaining about the fact that the Dublin hype machine hasn't yet cranked into gear. "The hype always kicks off at some stage but we're happy enough at the moment to be just tipping away. "We're just concentrating on the Westmeath game. We've had some tough battles with them over the last year and Sunday will be no different," he added. Tweet
