Boland on the double for minor hurlers
DUBLIN 4-24 CARLOW 0-3 Dublin’s minor hurlers bounced back from their disappointing defeat to Wexford seven days earlier when totally outclassing Carlow in Saturday’s Leinster MHC quarter-final at Dr Cullen Park. The Dubs were in a different league from first whistle til last and progress to meet Kilkenny in the...

The winning margin was embellished somewhat by two late goals but there was...

Hurlers hopeful Kelly will be fit for relegation battle 02 Apr 2012 | hill16.ie Dublin hurlers are hopeful that Peter Kelly will be available for the Allianz HL Division 1A relegation clash with Galway on Sunday, April 15 in O’Connor Park, Tullamore (4.0). The versatile Lucan Sarsfield man is currently sidelined with a knee injury but his chances of proving his fitness in time for this crucial duel with the Tribemen are rated as better than 50/50. Conor McCormack will be available, however, it looks like the game will come too soon for Paul Ryan (hamstring). The curtain-raiser to Dublin v...
After a thrilling day of action on Sunday in the Allianz Hurling Leagues, fixture details have been confirmed for the respective finals, semi-finals and relegation play-offs. In Division IA, Kilkenny’s crushing win over Galway saw them progress to the semi-finals, where they will meet the winners of the Division IB final between Clare and Limerick at Semple Stadium on Sunday, April 22 at 2pm. The other semi-final pairing in the top tier sees Cork and Tipperary meet again in Thurles having played out a sensational 1-23 apiece draw in Semple Stadium yesterday. Their last four clash will follow the first...
Ten Questions with Conal Keaney Tuesday, April 03, 2012 Fielding the questions this week is Dublin hurler Conal Keaney, an Allianz Hurling League Division I medal winner in 2011 and a five-time Leinster GAA Football Championship winner with the county’s footballers. At the end of the day we want to be here and it is a pleasure to be here and we do anything we can to play for Dublin – or any other county. I wouldn’t say there are any huge sacrifices. Conal Keaney, Dublin Q: Who is the greatest dual player of all time? A: Teddy McCarthy (Cork)....
With the final round of the Allianz HL completed today, the picture for the finals, semi-finals and relegation finals is now clear. From Division 1B Clare and Limerick will play off with the winner gaining promotion and a place in the semi-finals against Kilkenny. Tipperry and Cork will repeat today’s epic in the other semi-final. Relegation from Division 1A will be between Dublin and Galway. Laois and Wexford will meet again to decide who drops out of Division 1B. While there is a final in Division 3A, there is no promotion out of this division, meaning there is no relegation...
Dublin’s David Treacy. Photo: Sportsfile ANOTHER frustrating league game for Daly’s Dubs. Despite their exertions the champions once again ended up pointless but were able to take some positives from the campaign. A 0-17 to 0-13 defeat by Waterford in Dungarvan for a largely experimental Dublin team wasn’t the worst day Anthony Daly has had in a blue tracksuit but he could probably do without what’s coming down the tracks in two weeks time. Daly already knew his team were consigned to a relegation play-off prior to their trip to Fraher Field. All Dublin could control was the identity of...
Waterford’s John Mullane with Ruairi Treanor of Dublin. Photograph: Donall Farmer/Inpho Waterford 0-17 Dublin 0-13: FROM A high of National Hurling League champions less than a year ago, Dublin now face the uninviting prospect of a relegation play-off against Galway after their four-point defeat by Waterford in yesterday’s game at Fraher Field, Dungarvan. From a Dublin perspective all of the damage was done in an opening half when their lacklustre and pedestrian-paced performance paled in comparison to a lively Waterford display that had them decisively on top in all sectors of the field. The winner’s midfielders Kevin Moran and a...
Dublin 0-13 Waterford 0-17 JOB done, panic over… for the moment at least. That hissing sound in Dungarvan around 4.0 yesterday afternoon was the collective sigh of relief from the big crowd in Fraher Field after Waterford’s hurlers had secured their place in Division 1A next year. That ‘beleaguered’ tag that had been attached to both the team and manager Michael Ryan for so long was finally shaken off when they wrapped up their league campaign, and avoided the drop, with their second victory on the trot. They were undoubtedly helped by the fact that Dublin, already bound for the relegation...
Fingal 2-19 Donegal 4-12 Already through to the final, an understrength Fingal secured a dramatic victory at Lawless Park yesterday, with Niall Feeney grabbing the decisive goal with the very last puck of the game. Fingal were quickly in the ascendancy, with dead ball specialist JM Sheridan firing them into a four-point lead early on, and they went further ahead on the quarter-hour when Graham Dillon goaled. Donegal, however, got back into the game. Niall Campbell was particularly prominent with six first-half points as they cut Fingal’s lead to 1-10 to 1-8 by the break. A green flag straight after...

Ryan O’Dwyer regrets the red card which he picked up in Dublin’s defeat to Kilkenny Ryan O’Dwyer has put his hand up and accepted “full responsibility” for Dublin hurling’s Division 1A relegation predicament. O’Dwyer believes his second yellow card against Kilkenny last week may have denied Dublin a victory that could have given them something to fight for against Waterford this weekend. Instead Dublin travel to Dungarvan on Sunday with nothing to play for — except possibly determining who their relegation play-off opponents will be. If Waterford win and Galway lose to Kilkenny Dublin will then face Galway in the...
