NEWS: Dublin's talented young hurler Conal Keaney has become a dual player by being named in the under-21 side for Saturday's All-Ireland football semi-final against champions Tyrone.

He is named at centre forward in a side containing five of the team that started against Armagh in last weekend's senior semi-final at Croke Park.

The others are captain Barry Cahill, goalkeeper Stephen Cluxton, wing back Paul Casey, centrefielder Darren Magee, who has recovered from the eye injury that forced his withdrawal at the weekend, and corner forward Alan Brogan.

Meanwhile, Sean Cavanagh will play through the pain barrier for Tyrone. Cavanagh lost teeth in a club game last weekend, but has been named at corner forward.
