Shane Stapleton and Meath coach Colm Nally preview the All-Ireland SFC semi-final match-up of Cavan v Dublin.

Meath coach Colm Nally sat down with OurGame to talk about the task of facing Dublin, and what Cavan might be able to do to get some joy in the All-Ireland SFC semi-final.

The sides meet in the championship for the first time since 1942 when the capital won an All-Ireland semi-final by three points.

Their last competitive clash was in the 2019 Allianz League when the Dubs won by 1-16 to 1-10 at Kingspan Breffni Park.
