The All-Ireland champions were tested by Ger Brennan’s Louth before running out four-point winners at Croke Park.

The Dubs are Kings of Leinster again 🏆👑@DubGAAOfficial 1-19@louthgaa 2-12— The GAA May 12, 2024 Dublin 1-19 Louth 2-12 TWO GOALS, A lion-heart effort and, for three quarters of the game, genuine hope of a landmark Leinster SFC final win.

Dublin led by seven points in stoppage time when Craig Lennon palmed in Louth’s second goal and while it was only consolation at that stage, the four-point end margin better reflected their gargantuan efforts. Having conceded 5-21 to Dublin in each of their last two Championship meetings, Louth made no apologies for setting up in containment mode – and it almost paid off.

And it panned out pretty much as Louth had hoped with Dublin, remarkably, only scoring six points in the whole of the first-half. Louth lived off scraps at the other end but were fully committed to their counter-attacking strategy and in Conal McKeever they had a player perfectly suited to the attritional, high work-rate game plan.
