You might have noticed the scoreline of the Dublin-Laois Allianz NHL Division 1B encounter at the weekend and wondered if Dublin were improving at all under Mattie Kenny. Dublin overcame Laois 0-13 to 0-11 in the second-tier of the league structure which may have seemed underwhelming, on the surface. I would suggest quite far indeed, far enough to be considered potential All-Ireland finalists in the not-too-distant future. I'm not saying they're going to beat Dublin or going to get within a point or two of them, but they are definitely going in the right direction, as are Kildare. "That's not to say they're going to take out Dublin any time soon but they are going in the right direction."
