Former Dublin star Barry Cahill says that Dessie Farrell’s rookies need to come up to the mark much quicker after Saturday’s reverse at the hands of Armagh.
Following on from a stuttering 2021 campaign as the Dubs slipped to a first Championship defeat in seven years, the League got off to the worst possible start as Kieran McGeeney’s side left Croke Park with a victory that was far more comfortable than the final five-point margin suggested.
Coupled with last year’s All-Ireland semi-final defeat to Mayo, it was the first time that they have lost successive games at Croke Park since 2009, when Tyrone also saw them off in the League opener, a rousing encounter 13 years ago today, having dumped them out of the Championship the previous August.
