THEY’RE THREE OF the last four managers still standing in the 2013 All-Ireland senior hurling championship.

And today Davy Fitzgerald, Anthony Daly and John Allen scoped out Croke Park ahead of their big games next month.

The Clare, Dublin and Limerick bosses were all present as GAA hurling championship sponsors Etihad Airways launched ‘Raise The Bar 2013′.

The initiative is a chance for GAA clubs to win a year’s sponsorship package with more details to be found at etihadgaa.ie

Here’s how the three bosses got on as they pucked around at headquarters today.

1. ‘Hood up lads. Get the game face on’

2. ‘Look, just tell me John, how did ye manage to beat Cork?’

3. ‘This is how I cleared it playing for Clare in the 90′s’

4. ‘Follow through and you’ll get 24 points. That was the pre-match Munster final message’

5. ‘Eye on the ball lads’

6. ‘Right, who’s taking what sliotar?’

7. ‘Let’s rehearse the handshake for August 18th’

8. ‘Who’ll be laughing if we’re both in the final in September?’
