Daly will have endured worse weekends
Last Friday morning the Dublin hurler and his motorbike had an unyielding encounter with a van, which left Keaney with a serious leg injury and an early ending to a very promising season. You can only imagine the escalating disbelief of Anthony Daly three days ago, wild rumour hardening into sober fact with the passing of the hours.
Yesterday Dublin got themselves to an All-Ireland semi-final without Keaney, but it’s not the first time that a good hurler has found out the hard way that a motorbike isn’t always the best option for getting around.
