Dias had two stints in with the Dublin senior footballers.
Up next now is the Leinster semi-final, next weekend under the lights in Croke Park. This is the big time and even though the nights are getting longer and colder, Dias is enjoying the run and he can't wait to get out on the hallowed turf again.
"The first five minutes is difficult in training but I have the hat and the warmer! Look, we're enjoying it there's really good lads in that group. So we're having a bit of fun while learning and that's always good. I want to keep that going as long as possible! So bring it on.
"After the Kilcoo loss, we took a break and went away as a team. We came back then and played a few League games, we weren't training overly hard. We didn't come back into our fitness blocks until April/May then. So that gave us a bit of a break, maybe a bit more so than other teams. So now, thankfully, we're all fresh.
"I'm looking forward to getting out of Parnell Park because it was really heavy the last day. At times, the legs felt like led, but it's going to be great to get onto that sod. A nice pitch, it won't be heavy and it will allow both teams to play good football."
