McCaffrey says long lay-off won’t hinder Dublin hopes against Wexford

Dublin hurling captain Johnny McCaffrey is confident the reigning Leinster champions will not be hindered by an 11-week lay-off ahead of their provincial opener against Wexford on Saturday night.

Anthony Daly’s men have not crossed the whitewash since overcoming Waterford in the league’s relegation decider at the end of March.

Such a late entry to the Leinster championship is reward for annexing the Bob O’Keefe Cup last summer and McCaffrey is adamant rustiness won’t be an issue.
