GALLERY: Dublin and Kildare book safe passage through to the next round of their respective Championships

Dublin hurlers secured safe passage through to the next round of the Leinster Championship after a comprehensive 2-19 to 0-12 defeat of Wexford in Croke Park.

The Sky Blues took a 2-10 to 0-08 lead in at the break with goals from Darragh O'Connell and Eamon Dillion putting them in control of the game.

David Treacy (0-08) and Niall McMorrow (0-04) kept the scoreboard ticking over as they ran out comfortable winners in the end. 

Kildare booked a place in the Leinster Football Championship semi-final as they overcame Wexford in a dogfight in the day's earlier game at Croker, winning on a scoreline of 0-09 to 0-08. 

It was a largely forgettable game as the Yellowbellies failed to take their chance to cause an early Championship surprise, with Cian O'Neill and the Lilywhites now preparing for a last four clash with either Westmeath or Offaly.
