Dublin Dominate in Leinster Senior Hurling Championship
Dublin’s Perfect Start Continues with Impressive Win
Dublin made it three wins from three in the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship with an impressive 3-25 to 0-19 victory over Antrim at a sunny Corrigan Park on Saturday. Niall Ó Ceallacháin’s men took control early and never relinquished it, opening up a 12-point gap by halftime and extending their lead in the second half.
First-Half Blitz Secures Dublin’s Victory
Dublin’s quick start was highlighted by a well-taken goal from Eddie Gibbons after he caught an Antrim puckout and blasted it to the net. Alongside an array of points from Sean Currie (0-7) and Cian O’Sullivan (1-3), it ensured Dublin were comfortable heading into the break, with Antrim staring at a daunting deficit.
Antrim’s Resistance Fades Away
Antrim managed just three points in the entire second half, with Dublin’s superior fitness and skill telling as they notched two more goals – one each from Ronan Hayes and Fergal Whitely. The game was effectively over as a contest by the 60th minute, and Antrim’s frustrations bubbled over with a straight red card for James McNaughton late on.
