Kilkenny display undermines O’Shea jibe

Dublin 2-15 Meath 0-14

This game was won with over 10 minutes to go by a team that took three of their six goal chances, a better return than their four from 13 against Kildare two weeks previous, and they kept a clean sheet, holding Meath to a humble score total as well.

After his four points last day out, Ciarán Kilkenny produced a stellar demonstration of centre-forward play that further undermined Jack O’Shea’s claim that he is a junior footballer.
