Dubs go top but Hiney injury blow worries Daly

DAVID O’CALLAGHAN came in as a late replacement but proved his value to Dublin with two first-half goals setting his side up for a nine-point victory over a battling Wexford outfit at Wexford Park yesterday.

Dublin not alone raced to the win but also top the table. They were far superior to a Wexford side that struggled in almost every sector. Physically stronger, quicker to the breaking ball with an excellent first touch, they picked off some huge scores.

Another interesting statistic is that 11 players figured on the scoresheet, even without Conal Keaney, who cried off before the game.
