Friday's matchup might be decided on the ground. Dublin has been excellent on the ground this season, having averaged 170 rushing yards per game. However, it's not like Livermore struggles in that department as they've been averaging 157.8 rushing yards. There's a good chance Friday's contest turns into a tough fight on the ground.
Dublin and Livermore were almost perfectly matched up when the teams last played back in October of 2024, but Dublin suffered an agonizing 28-27 defeat. Thankfully for the Gaels, Kamarri Robinson (who rushed for 190 yards and a pair of touchdowns while picking up 10.6 yards per carry, and also caught one TD) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
