EVENING HERALD DUBLIN SHC 'A' GROUP 1

Crumlin v Cuala

(Pearse Park, Tonight, 7.30)

THIS should be an interesting one. Last week they played a cracker in the League. Cuala nicked it by the finish.

Kilkenny icon John Henderson is managing the Dalkey side. Luke Hand, the builder, impressed against Crumlin.

The maestro, Shane Martin, was also humming that evening. So was John Cullen, one of the tidiest hurlers in Dublin.

Colm Hennebry, Jamie Maher and Darren Whelan are classy Crumlin Colts, while Stephen Dunne, Seán Stafford, Kevin Byrne and young Peter Elliott can compile the scores up front.

Fintan O'Brien stands tall between the Dalkey sticks. Oisín Gough and David Treacy have big-time Dublin experience, while there's also much in the lockers of Shane Kiely, Bobby Browne and Johnny Sheanon.

Championship Form -- Crumlin: W1 L1. Cuala: L2.

VERDICT: Draw
