Great atmosphere in Dublin camp: Ciarán Kilkenny

Ciarán Kilkenny has praised Dublin's debutants from last Sunday's comprehensive Leinster SFC victory over Longford, David Byrne, John Small and Brian Fenton.

“They’re brilliant,” says Ciarán.“The energy the young lads bring to the place is brilliant. And it’s great to have that competitiveness. They’re fighting for places, week in, week out.

“It’’s a great environment to be playing in and working in and it creates a great atmosphere.

“It’s great to go out and represent your county. To represent Dublin is a privilege. The lads did a great job. We put a lot of hard work into this game.

“We’ve two more to go in Leinster and hopefully three more after that. We’ll just take each game as it comes and hopefully push on after that."
