DUBLIN SFC ROUND-UP:FORMER ALL-IRELAND club champions Kilmacud Crokes proved too strong for Na Fianna at Parnell Park yesterday with Longford star Brian Kavanagh registering eight points for the Stillorgan outfit in their 0-15 to -10 victory.

Crokes conceded a shock goal on 20 minutes when from a diagonal ball from Senan Connell, Odhran Ó Maoléadaigh shot home at the far post. And further points from Dublin hurler Tomás Brady and Connell saw Na Fianna lead by 1-5 to 0-4 before Crokes embarked on a five-point run (three from Kavanagh) to lead by one at the break.

And although Ó Maoléadaigh was to level proceedings shortly after the restart, Crokes took control with Adrian Morrissey and Kavanagh to the fore.

Meanwhile, champions Ballyboden St Enda’s had to dig in deep against former All-Ireland holders St Vincent’s at Parnell Park on Saturday.

Ballyboden looked to be in big trouble in the first half having trailed by seven points approaching half-time but they rallied after that with an injury-time point from Paul Galvin putting just three between the sides at the interval, 0-9 to 0-5.

And after Ballyboden’s top scorer Mark McCabe had drawn them level at 10 points each, it was nip and tuck before successive scores from Tomás Quinn edged St Vincent’s back in front with a 67th-minute free.

But with Ballyboden seemingly on their way out of the championship, substitute Paddy O’Connell swung over a terrific score from the left two minutes into injury game to tie the game at 15 points each.

Oliver Plunkett’s Eoghan Ruadh had a facile 4-11 to 0-7 win over Lucan Sarsfields at O’Toole Park with Bernard Brogan registering two first-half goals in a game that saw David Kealy red -carded for Sarsfields on 42 minutes.

SEMI-FINAL DRAW: Kilmacud Crokes v Ballyboden St Enda's/St Vincent's, Oliver Plunkett ER v St Brigid's (dates and venues to be announced).
