Will Rhode Retain Dowling?

Post by seamroga »

Remember last year Rhode won all their championship games by at least eight points and seldom conceded a goal?. So what's up now. Granted they never looked like losing against Ferbane and Shamrocks, but still they didn't have the swagger of last year. And once again they have failed to beat Tullamore. Part of me feels they will turn on the style when they run out the tunnel at O'Connor Park and face a win-or-bust situation. However, I can't help wondering if their confidence was severely dented by their unfortunate experience against Portlaoise in the Leinster Club Championship when it was brought home to them that maybe they weren't as good as everyone thought. If they meet Tullamore or even St Brigid's later in the year they will have to roll up their sleeves but I still they they will hold onto the cup mainly because Edenderry are no longer capable of mounting a serious challenge.
