THE LINE-UP for the quarter-finals of the Dublin Senior Football Championship has been confirmed, as Kilmacud Crokes and Ballyboden St Enda’s ensured their progression on Friday night.

They join St. Jude’s, St. Sylvester’s, defending champions St. Vincent’s, Na Fianna, Castleknock and Ballymun Kickhams in the first knockout round, with the final set of group games taking place today all acting as dead rubbers.

Crokes ensured their place in the final eight with a 0-7 to 0-4 victory against Raheny in Bargriffin.

With Raheny failing to beat Crokes, a 0-13 to 2-7 draw was enough to see Ballyboden through to this year’s quarter-finals.

St Brigid’s rounded off their Championship campaign with a 2-16 to 0-10 win over Clontarf with Lorcan McCarthy and Niall Davey hitting the net in O’Toole Park.

Meanwhile a draw with Skerries yesterday was enough to take Na Fianna into the quarter-final line-up thanks to already-qualified St Vincent’s commanding win over Lucan Sarsfields to round off Group 2.

Meath 1-14
Tyrone 6-8

Emma Duffy reports from Croke Park 

THEY SAY GOALS win games, and Tyrone proved just that as they were crowned 2018 TG4 All-Ireland intermediate champions in Croke Park.

The Red Hand were classy and sharp as they went about their business against Meath, making amends for their 2017 decider defeat to Tipperary.

Gerry Moane’s side, inspired by captain and Player of the Match Neamh Woods, fired six goals courtesy of five different players.

Woods finished with two herself, while Gráinne Rafferty, Niamh Hughes, Gemma Begley and Niamh O’Neill also found the back of the net to see them lift the Mary Quinn Memorial Cup and confirm their senior status for 2019.

An eight-minute period early in the first half where they scored 3-1 set them on their way and left Meath, who never gave up, chasing for the remainder of the game.

The scoreline comes as a harsh reflection on the Royal county though, for whom Stacey Grimes was one shining light throughout, finishing with 1-5.

They drew first blood through skipper Niamh O’Sullivan but with just six minutes on the clock, Woods palmed the ball into Hill 16 to finish a superb Tyrone team goal and set the tone.

Hughes struck the next fatal blow before Rafferty then rattled the net with 14 minutes gone to make it 3-1 to 0-1.

Grimes, both from frees and play, was pivotal in the fight back while Fiona O’Neill added on extras and Meath had reduced the deficit to four shortly before half time, but substitute O’Neill’s goal with 29 minutes on the clock ensured Tyrone went in 4-3 to 0-7 leaders at the break.

On the restart, the picked up right where they left off. Begley rattled the net before O’Neill fired three impressive points from play to keep the momentum going. 

Vikki Wall, Megan Thynne and Grimes tagged on scores for Meath to keep their hopes alive but both teams were soon reduced to 14 players with Máire O’Shaughnessy and O’Neill shown yellow cards.

Meath looked for another rally but at this stage, the gap was too much and Begley just extended that with another goal.

Grimes expertly slotted a late penalty but it was too little too late, and Tyrone held on to run out nine-point winners.

Tyrone’s Niamh Hughes finished with 1-3 from the bench.

SEAN CAVANAGH HAS been released from hospital after he suffered a brutal knee to the face during a Tyrone Senior Football Championship meeting between Moy and Edendork, which saw 26 bookings dished out.

Six red cards and 20 yellow cards were given out by the referee throughout the affair, with former Tyrone captain Cavanagh taken to hospital at half-time having received the blow after 20 minutes at O’Neill Park.

Darren McCurry received a yellow card before kicking the winning score for Edendork in injury time. He was then given his marching orders for a further black card with moments remaining, as his side held on for a 0-10 to 0-9 victory in Dungannon.

Harry Loughran and Colm Cavanagh were both dismissed for Moy for second yellow cards, with none of the game’s sending offs coming as a result of a straight red.

And so it continues 😨😨@KCsixtyseven Edendork played Moy today in the Tyrone senior championship first round

“Thanks for all the messages,” Sean Cavanagh wrote on Twitter on Sunday. “Released from hospital with a bad concussion, broken nose & extensive facial injuries but could have been much worse. I’m lucky.”

Moy extended their congratulations to their opponents for Saturday’s narrow win, saying: “Commiserations to An Mhaigh senior men’s football squad and management on their very unfortunate one-point defeat to Edendork in today’s SFC first-round match at Dungannon.

“Best wishes for a speedy recovery to Sean Cavanagh who picked up a nasty facial injury early in the match and was transported to Craigavon hospital by ambulance.”

Dublin 3-11
Cork 1-12

Emma Duffy reports from Croke Park

DUBLIN ARE ALL-IRELAND champions once again, retaining the title for the first time in the county’s history.

Player of the Match Carla Rowe hit a goal in either half and captain fantastic Sinead Aherne finished with 1-7 as the holders defended the Brendan Martin Cup in an intriguing and fiery battle with old foes Cork in front of a record-breaking 50,141.

This was the fourth time the sides met in the showpiece in the last five years with Mick Bohan’s Sky Blues today gaining revenge for narrow defeats to the Rebels in 2014, 2015 and 2016.

Cork, to their credit, battled fiercely throughout with Orla Finn leading the charge with 0-8 from frees. Aine O’Sullivan also fired 1-2, but the trophy remains in the capital as Dublin made it back-to-back All-Ireland final wins.

Both teams were quite nervy from the get-go as they settled into a tactical warfare in cagey circumstances. 

Scores were slow to come as it turned into a tale of two extremely physical defences but Aherne soon put the wheels in motion for Dublin. She had two points on the board — one from play the other from a free — before Orla Finn grabbed Cork’s first, also from a mark, with 10 minutes on the clock.

The Kinsale star added two more while Nicole Owens responded at the other end before the Jackies grabbed their first goal of the game.

Lyndsey Davey was fouled for a 16th minute penalty, one which Aherne expertly slotted into the bottom left-hand corner of the Hill 16 goals.

Cork soon drew level after Áine O’Sullivan scored a superb major. Confusion reigned as it looked like the referee had awarded a free but the Beara forward intercepted Sinead Goldrick and then found the top corner.

With 24 minutes on the clock it was 1-4 a-piece, the sides level for the third time. 

Up stepped Rowe to bag her first goal. After impressive work from Noelle Healy and Olwen Carey, she slotted home. Ciara O’Sullivan and Niamh McEvoy traded scores to make it 2-6 to 1-5 at the break.

Ephie Fitzgerald’s Leesiders came out strong on the restart with points exchanged at both ends, and Niamh Collins stepped up to clear Eimear Scally’s effort off the line in the 39th minute as the Sky Blues roared on.

It turned into a free-taking tussle for a period then with Aherne and Finn both having success from the mark and Cork soon reduced the deficit to two.

But then came Rowe with her second goal, the crucial blow the Dubs needed as the clock struck 50. She had the final say in another glorious team effort after brilliance from Martha Byrne and Lyndsey Davey in the build-up.

Pretty much over the line at this stage, Aherne and Sinead Goldrick tagged on further points to cancel out Finn and Doireann O’Sullivan’s efforts while Leah Caffrey’s late dismissal made no difference.

Scorers for Dublin: Sinead Aherne (1-7, 4f, 1p), Carla Rowe (2-0), Nicole Owens (0-2), Niamh McEvoy (0-1), Sinead Goldrick (0-1).

A RECORD ATTENDANCE of 50,141 has turned out for today’s Ladies All-Ireland football final between Dublin and Cork at Croke Park.

It marks a trend of bigger crowds with every passing year at the event.

Last year, 46,286 spectators watched Dublin beat Mayo 4-11 to 0-11.

That figure had also been a significant increase of almost 12,000 compared with the 2016 clash involving Cork and Dublin, with 34,445 witnessing the Rebelettes claim a thrilling one-point victory.

Today’s figure is also close to double the 27,374 fans who watched Cork edge Dublin in the 2014 decider.

We have a new record!!! ⭐️ We’ve topped last year and passed through the 50,000 mark!! 💥

Thanks so much for all of your support! 👏🏻

THE DRAW FOR the Kerry SFC quarter-finals has thrown up a mouthwatering fixture list after today brought an end to the Championship’s round three fixtures.

Champions Dr Crokes, who today bounced back from defeat to Kerins O’Rahilly’s with a very convincing 3-28 to 2-15 victory over An Ghaeltacht, will meet Legion at the last eight stage.

O’Rahilly’s will face St Brendan’s in the next round, who defeated Mid Kerry 3-18 to 1-18 today.

Arguably the tie of the round in the Kingdom will see David Clifford and East Kerry meet Bryan Sheehan’s South Kerry, with a clash between Austin Stacks and Dingle completing the line-up of fixtures to be played on the weekend of September 29/30.

REIGNING CORK HURLING champions Imokilly are into the semi-finals of this year’s competition, but only after receiving a scare from Newcestown in Sunday’s quarter-final.

When Paudie O’Sullivan scored a goal for the East Cork divisional side in the 53^rd minute of the clash at Páirc Uí Rinn, it put them 1-20 to 0-16 in front as injury time dawned, their lead was 1-22 to 0-17.

However, injuries meant that Newcestown had six minutes left to challenge and they lived up to their never-say-die spirit as sub Seán O’Donovan touched a Daniel Twomey delivery to the net before Twomey sent over a free to cut the gap to four points.

A second goal followed in the 65^th minute, Trevor Horgan netting after showing great close control, but Imokilly wouldn’t cough up an equaliser.

Centre-forward William Leahy scored 10 points for the winners while O’Sullivan finished with 1-2 and Cork captain Séamus Harnedy scored three points, coming into the game strongly in the second half.

In the last four, Imokilly will face UCC after the college side held off Sarsfields to win by 0-20 to 1-14.

Kerry’s Shane Conway was excellent throughout for the College, notching 10 points, four in the first half as they led by 0-9 to 0-7 at half-time.

Sars, for whom Eoin O’Sullivan and Daniel Kearney were the main scorers, led early in the second period but five unanswered points from UCC – with Tom Devine and Andrew Casey among the scorers – had the 0-15 to 0-10 in front by the three-quarter mark.

That lead had stretched to 0-19 to 0-13 in the 57^th minute but a Jack O’Connor Sars point was followed by a goal from Kearney. Unfortunately for the Glanmire side, a levelling goal remained elusive and UCC march on to the semi-finals.

Last year’s finalists Blackrock will meet Midleton in the other semi-final.

1. Sweet, sweet revenge for Dublin

AFTER NARROW LOSSES to Cork in the 2014, 2015 and 2016 All-Ireland finals, Dublin finally put the hurt and heartbreak to bed on the biggest day in the ladies football calendar.

Source: Tommy Dickson/INPHO

They may have lifted the Brendan Martin Cup in Croke Park last September to make it fourth time lucky, but that was against Mayo.

Today, they successfully defended the title making it two in-a-row for the first time in the county’s history.

There was a huge amount of talk of revenge in the build-up, how special it would be to beat the old enemy who had inflicted so much hurt upon the Sky Blues.

Dublin played it down of course, but how sweet it must have been as the final hooter sounded today.

2. Another record-breaking attendance 

50,141. 

Last year, 46,286 turned out to Croke Park to watch Dublin lift the silver, and that was record-shattering. But today, that increased further and is close to double the 27,374 fans who watched Cork edge Dublin in the 2014 decider.

Source: Oisin Keniry/INPHO

It comes as the sixth-highest attendance across all Gaelic games codes this year; the two All-Ireland finals, the two hurling semi-finals and the Dublin-Galway football last four clash edging it.

3. An intriguing battle 

The crowd at HQ, and those watching from home were treated to a fine exhibition of all-out football today. 

It started quite cagey and tactical, as expected, both sides getting their bearings on the game as neither could afford to give anything much away at early doors.

The game then started to flow more and more as it turned into an exciting end-to-end battle with physicality coming the fore. Two brilliant sides brought the best out of one another and it turned into a titanic contest, settled mainly by Carla Rowe’s 49th-minute goal.

Source: Tommy Dickson/INPHO

4. Goals at crucial moments key

Carla Rowe’s second individual major as the clock ran down ultimately settled the finely-balanced contest, making it 3-8 to 1-10 as it struck 50. But the two Dublin goals that preceded it also came at crucial moments.

Sinéad Aherne cooly converted a penalty in the 16th minute to make it 1-3 to 0-3 and give Mick Bohan’s charges the edge. Prior to that, Cork had started to get a foothold on the game with three Orla Finn frees but that stopped them in their tracks. 

Áine O’Sullivan’s super goal had drawn the Rebels level again and some points at both ends followed. But Rowe’s 28th-minute goal made it 2-5 to 1-5 as half time approached. 

5. What’s next?

Well, there’s already talk of a Dublin three in-a-row. After writing two pieces of new history this year — a first Division 1 league title and a first championship back-t0-back — that’ll surely be to the back of players’ minds as they face into winter.

Source: Oisin Keniry/INPHO

Who’ll stay on though? Will seasoned campaigners finish on a high or come back for more?

They’re are a clinical and well-drilled outfit and with youth on their side, this could very well be the start a reign of terror, similar to that Cork had.

But this is a different Cork team. They impressed this year and although their bid for a 12th title in 14 years fell short, they’ll surely bottle the hurt of losing a first All-Ireland final and come back all guns blazing in 2019.

DUBLIN ARE ON the hunt for a new senior hurling boss after it was announced that Pat Gilroy has stepped down tonight due to work commitments.

An All-Ireland footballer winner as a player in 1995 and manager in 2011, Gilroy departs after one season in charge.

In a statement released tonight, Gilroy explained the background to his decision.

“It was a huge honour for me to be selected to manage the Dublin senior hurling team and I was delighted that I was able to make a contribution during the past year. Unfortunately my work commitments involves a considerable amount of overseas travel and it will not be possible for me to continue in this role.

“I would like to express my appreciation to my management and backroom team who were very supportive at all times and to the players for their exceptional commitment and dedication. Thanks also to the county board and the clubs for their encouragement and assistance.”

Gilroy was appointed last October to take charge for the 2018 season. After the Division 1B league run, they finished fourth after a Leinster championship campaign that saw them defeat Offaly while suffering narrow defeats to Kilkenny (1-25 to 3-16), Wexford (0-22 to 2-14) and Galway (0-26 to 2-19).

Dublin chairman Sean Shanley paid tribute to the outgoing manager.

“Pat has done an outstanding job as manager over the past year. I regret his departure but appreciate the huge sacrifices he has made over the year for Dublin GAA. The committee will commence the process of considering suitable candidates to replace Pat and his management team shortly.”

BEATING CORK IN an All-Ireland final was absolutely massive for Dublin yesterday.

And Mick Bohan makes no qualms about it. 

The rivalry was played down time and time again in the build-up from inside the camp, but their manager admitted under the Hogan Stand yesterday that they had to beat 11-time champions Cork to be remembered as a great team.

The Sky Blues finally put the heartbreak of their 2014, 2015 and 2016 decider defeats to the same opposition to bed as they ran out five-point winners in Croke Park and made it two in-a-row for the first time in the county’s history.

“We’re obviously absolutely thrilled,” he told the media afterwards.

“We couldn’t make it out to be more than a game for this group coming into it, but everybody knew that it was and that wasn’t shying away from it.

“If we were to build it up in the camp, it could become an immovable beast and we didn’t want that. But we’re incredibly proud because realistically we have been building for this for 18 months since we came in (as a management team).

“We thought it was going to happen sooner and when we came in, we would have felt that they were the standard-bearers and for us to get the crown we would have had to take them out.

“And that’s said with massive respect to them (Cork) because they brought the game to that level and it has been our goal to try and set a standard higher than them.”

The Clontarf clubman added: “Not in our camp they weren’t (written off). Are you joking me? After all the scars they’ve left here, why would we do that?

“We’d have the utmost respect for Cork and that’s really what makes this prize today that little extra more special.

“It’s always going to be special but to beat the standard-bearers, that was really important for this group because it was always going to be something that was going to be thrown back at them long after their boots were hung up — ‘You couldn’t beat the great Cork team’.

“People can say that they’ve lost their leaders or whatever else, but the tradition that they’ve built up in their own county in women’s football is a huge testament.”

It was a fiery battle played out in front of a record-breaking crowd of 50,141 and two goals from Carla Rowe and a haul of 1-7 from captain Sinéad Aherne proved vital.

The showpiece had it all, with physicality, athleticism and an admirable standard of football on show throughout.

“You’d have to take your hats off to the contest out there today from both teams,” Bohan continued. “For anyone trying to promote women’s sport, it was brave, honest, it was relentless.

“I think the rules of the game went out the window, rightly so, because it just became an absolute white heat of battle contest. The bravery in going for the ball. It just was absolutely fantastic to see.

“I hope you enjoyed the spectacle, I thought both teams magnificent.
