Jim McGuinness and co will be happy that the footballers form the capital are taking some pressure off them as the championship breaks down.

Murphy branded Jim Gavin’s side as the “team to beat” after they continued the excellent form that saw them rampage through the league as they stormed into the Leinster final.

“They were very impressive,” said the Glenswilly man.

And he added “They have been the most consistent team of the year. They are merging the attacking game with a mean defensive game. They have both sides of the game ticked.”
