Dublin manager Mattie Kenny says his side are relishing the prospect of locking horns with Galway in Portlaoise next Saturday.

The Dubs produced a clinical display by racking up 3-31 in an 18-point win against Antrim at Pairc Tailteann yesterday to ensure their passage to the Leinster SHC semi-finals.

"Galway and Limerick are the people's favourites for this year's All-Ireland," Kenny told DubsTV.

"Going down to Portlaoise next weekend is a big challenge for us. It's a Leinster semi-final, something we're looking forward to."

The Sky Blues only led by two points heading into first water break before Cian O’Sullivan's goal put them 1-17 to 0-12 clear at half-time.

"We knew coming up here to Navan we were going to get a huge challenge from Antrim," Kenny added.

"I felt the first quarter was very close, they got some nice scores as we did but then in the second quarter we got a goal at a vital time and that gave us a bit of daylight and foundation to build the victory on."
