The Dublin manager feels that Longford will be battle hardened by the win in Tullamore and Gavin says the win shows the ambition that Longford have.

Former Dublin star and Tomas Quinn spoke to Ger about the game and his experiences of playing for Dublin as heavy favourites. He thinks Gavin's side will be able to cope with the pressure throughout the game.

Quinn speaks to Ger about the strength of the squad and feels that many of Dublin team will be trying to impress to ensure they keep the sky blue jersey for later games in the Championship.
