Battle with Galway will come down to the wire: Peter Kelly

Dublin hurler Peter Kelly reckons Sunday’s Leinster SHC quarter-final against Galway in Croke Park (2.0) will “come down to the wire”.

“We know Galway. We know exactly what to expect.

“We know to expect a very tough team, a very tough game that will probably come down to the wire.

“We haven’t really thought of the loss element, even though it’s a reality. We’re just focusing on our own performance because we know if we perform to our own ability, we know the result will take care of itself.

“You take every game seriously. But when you’re coming up against an All-Ireland contender in the first round, it definitely does focus the mind a bit more,” says the Dublin co-captain (with Liam Rushe).

“I’m not saying we gave any more or less respect to other teams but definitely, when you come up against a tough game in the first round, you’re definitely tuned in.”
