Goalkeeper Alan Nolan expects Dublin to throw everything at Tipperary in Thurles on Sunday.

Anthony Daly's charges delivered s disappointing performance against Kilkenny in the Leinster final and are in last chance saloon against the Premier County in this weekend's All-Ireland quarter-final. Might as well go for it, reckons Nolan.

"We're delighted we've another chance now. We're heading to Thurles with our backs to the wall, and we can only come out fighting," the ST Brigid's clubman notes in The Irish Daily Mirror. "And if we don't, our season is over so we know what's in our hands.

"You can't look past it. Sure, your season's either done or you're getting yourself set up so you've to treat it as your last game of the year. And you have to come out fighting, as if it is the last game of the year. And then see where the result takes you.

"In sport, whether you've won or not, you just have to look forward. So we're looking forward - we were waiting to see who we could get, and we were preparing ourselves.

"Then we obviously found out it was Tipperary. Lads are looking forward to the next challenge and that's all we were looking forward to. It's an All-Ireland quarter-final and that's great.

"People probably wouldn't have seen the Wexford-Clare result coming. You had a Cork/Waterford draw. You had a Galway/Kilkenny draw as well. So, there's been so many tight games that it is a puck of the ball and you're hoping you come out on the right side of it." Tweet
