Dublin midfielder Daire Plunkett says he and his team mates will have to keep up their work rate if they are to continue to progress this season.

The Dubs' form has been inconsistent thus far in the league but they have the chance to record their fourth win in six games on Saturday night when they welcome Limerick to Parnell Park for a place in the Division One semi-finals.

"The last three or four weeks, any of the reports from our games have talked about our work rate and our use of the ball, and that's what we really needed to get back to," Plunkett told The Irish Times.

"When we have that work rate, we're a very, very good team. But when we don't have it and when we're not bringing it, and we didn't bring it against Tipperary, that was one of the most disappointing things, having had a very positive start to the year with the Walsh Cup. To fall so flat, it was very disappointing . . .

"But since then we've been able to get back to it and it kind of proves that point to ourselves . . . when we have that work rate and use the ball well, we're a very, very good team.

"When you can say that you've beaten Galway, Cork and Waterford in three games in four weeks, it gives you a lot of confidence that what we're doing is right and we should trust that process and keep going with it."

Throw-in at Parnell Park on Saturday is at 7pm.
