Conal Keaney cleared of allegedly stamping on Limerick's Cian Lynch

Good news for the Dublin hurlers ahead of Sunday’s semi-final.

DUBLIN WILL HAVE Conal Keaney available for this Sunday’s Allianz Hurling League semi-final against Cork.

Keaney was in line for an enforced spell on the sidelines after the Central Competitions Control Committee opted to review an incident that took place in Dublin’s recent win over Limerick at Croke Park.

The Dublin player appeared to stamp on Limerick’s Cian Lynch but referee Diarmuid Kirwan didn’t take action during the game, which prompted the CCCC to investigate further.

However, the GAA have confirmed this evening that Keaney will face no further disciplinary action, leaving him free to line out for the Dubs at Nowlan Park this weekend as they aim to reach their first league final since 2011.

The GAA’s Central Hearings Committee “found that the infraction as alleged was not proven and directed that the disciplinary action be at an end”.

    Ah yeah sure Gavin knows nothing about winning. He’s only won 5 of the 6 competitions the Dubs have competed in since he came on board.

    Why are articles about him popping up now? Would people not focus on the hurling, it’s right around the corner!

    Plus, I honestly don’t think he’s the best manager going.. He has a great team and that’s what’s getting him by in my opinion. Would they not interview McGuinness or Fitzmaurice who made it to and, in Fitzmaurice’s case, won an All Ireland against the odds? I mean I think Fitzmaurice is one of the best lads going!

    I know but I’d say that’s down to the players, not his managerial skills…
    Pretty sure I said that above

    so by the same logic neither Alex fergessen or Brian Cody are great managers as they too had great players?

    I didn’t realise Taoism was big in Croke Park, but if you can’t answer that’s fine.

    Mc Ginley competes in an individual sport, advice from the manager of a team sport would be pretty useful to him. I think Gavin is well qualified to give a little advice.

    Jim Gavin could give advice on losing with a winning hand maybe? What would Jim McGuinness do with Dublin’s resources?

    So, McGinley was basically asking Gavin what he did so as to know what not to do with the Ryder Cup team? In fairness, that’s actually useful information.
