The Dublin job and the four faced auld clock

O’Bric repeats the same trick – simple but effective
In a development as obvious and unsurprising as ice cream selling well on a hot day, Meath manager Cathal O’Bric has announced the same starting 15 and extended matchday panel ahead of tonight’s final of the Dalata Hotels Group Leinster U-20 FC in Cedral St Conleth’s Park in Newbridge.
