Keane gutted as Lake County hurting

John Keane's body language told it all. Clearly despondent after their hammering from Dublin in the Leinster football semi-final, the Westmeath captain would have wished to be anywhere than being wheeled out to face the media.

But, to his credit, he didn’t shirk from his duty and faced the music. Offering the view that he hadn’t had "a feeling like this in a long time coming", he said: "I just want to get togged in and go home at this stage."
