We are trying to get performance right: Denis Bastick

Dublin midfielder Denis Bastick says the Dubs have yet to hit full speed as they prepare for Sunday’s All-Ireland SFC final against Kerry in Croke Park (3.30).

“We’ve had a good year to date, it’s been a bit hit-and-miss in terms of form and consistency; we’re trying to get that performance right so we can bring that into the final. And if it’s good enough, it’s good enough,” says the Templeogue Synge Street clubman.

The Dublin team will be named on Friday night and Denis will once again be vying with Michael Darragh Macauley and Brian Fenton for the starting midfield berths.

“It’s been on and off throughout the championship games, it’s been really tough but it’s been fantastic.

“Look at the impact Michael Darragh had the last day. I was sub for the first day and got my chance to come on, so that’s driving the team on - and it really strikes it home how lucky you are when you do get a start and get to play for Dublin.”
