Keaney on song as Dublin stay on course for title

Dublin 0-16 Wexford 0-10

While it was a day to forget for Wexford, Dublin made the long journey down to the South-East worthwhile as they handed new manager Humphrey Kelleher a winning debut, but it was embarrassing for home manager John Conran to see his charges make a first round exit for the second successive year.

It was only when Keaney stepped up his game that the alarm bells started. The centre-forward suddenly sprung into the game and in a five-minute spell between the 43rd minute and 48th minute he struck over six unanswered points, three from frees, to push his side into a 0-14 to 0-8 lead.
