Dublin: Niall O’Callaghan believes the All-Ireland club final is about more than just the matchup between his brother Con and Darragh Canavan. Sure, it’s exciting to see how they perform at Croke Park, but Cuala has a lot more talent to showcase.

Con scored five points in their recent game, helping Cuala fend off Coolera/Strandhill. But Niall and other players like David O’Dowd and Michael Fitzsimons also made significant contributions.

Niall pointed out that there are 15 players on the team, and while Con is a standout, many young players are stepping up. He’s confident we’ll hear their names in the future.

Niall has played for Dublin before, but he’s focused on improving. He knows there’s always room for growth, both personally and as a team.

Cuala’s coach, Austin O’Malley, has brought a fresh perspective since taking over. They’ve come a long way and are now close to joining an elite group of clubs.

As underdogs in the final, Niall respects their opponents from Ulster. He knows it’ll be a different game than their last.

In their recent match, Cuala played smart and built a solid lead. They faced some pressure from Coolera/Strandhill but managed to hold on.

O’Malley noted that they need to be sharper in their transitions and execution moving forward. It’s all about learning and adapting for the big game ahead.
