Blow for Daly as Keaney snubs Dublin hurlers

CONAL KEANEY has left Dublin hurling manager Anthony Daly disappointed after deciding again to concentrate solely on football for the coming season.

The Ballyboden St Enda’s ace told Daly the bad news yesterday and it will be a major disappointment for the hurlers as they look to build on last year’s impressive progress.

The news came as Ladbrokes closed the books on the next Dublin senior football captain after the position was reportedly offered to Keaney by manager Pat Gilroy.
