Dublin minor hurling manager Pat Fanning isn't concerned about who the beaten Leinster finalists face in Sunday's All-Ireland MHC quarter-final.

Having been beaten by Kilkenny in their own provincial decider, the Dubs await the winners of tonight's Munster final replay between Limerick and Waterford at Semple Stadium. Sunday's clash will also be in Thurles, at noon, and even though Dublin are guaranteed to face quality opposition, Fanning has no fear of either the defending Munster or All-Ireland champions:

"I thought that the quality of the Munster final was quite high and both teams looked in good shape," The Na Fianna clubman says in The Herald.

"Both sides had opportunities to win on the day and even if we didn't know beforehand the severity of the task awaiting us, then we certainly do now.

"Having said that, I didn't see anything in either team that would make me fear their challenge, so long as we manage to produce a performance in keeping with the potential that we undoubtedly possess in our panel."
