ENDS
Dandelion have already apologised for sending out the press release early. While the PR does not state that Dublin will be having a victory party at Dandelion, there seems to be something presumptuous about planning post-match celebrations. Daly, although quoted in the PR, has distanced himself from the press release.
"I wouldn't have had any involvement in it and it's not something the players would be overly-concerned about either."
