Keaney on the double for impressive Boden

Ballyboden St Enda's sent out an early signal of their intent in the Dublin SHC 'A' when they defeated Crumlin 4-23 to 1-14 in their Group 3 tie at O'Toole Park.

A Conal Keaney goal helped them on their way to a commanding 1-18 to 0-7 interval lead and three second half goals from Paul Ryan, Keaney and Conor McCormack saw them run out 18-point victors.

There was plenty of late drama at Parnell Park when a goal from Kieran Kellett and point from Aodhán McEnerney saw St Brigid's snatch a draw with O'Toole's, 1-14 to 0-17, in Group 1.

O'Toole's led by two at the interval, 0-9 to 0-7, and going into added time points from Gerry and Niall Arthur had the Larriers four to the good before the Russell Park men performed their late heroics.

Also in Group 1 Craobh Chiaráin had three points to spare, 1-13 to 1-10, over Na Fianna at Parnell Park.
