Enda Smith blazed narrowly wide within fifteen seconds of the resumption as Dublin availed of a rules infringement in the 39th\u00a0minute with Scully popping over the resultant free.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Points followed through McGinnis and Charlie McMorrow as the away lead stretched to sixteen points before the hosts finally found their two-point range through Murtagh in the 44thminute.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A brilliant point on the counter-attack, finished by Breathnach, ensured the Dubs maintained a threat in attack but a goal\u00a0at the opposite end\u00a0from Ruane in the 50th\u00a0minute offered\u00a0hope to the home faithful.<\/p>\n
Cregg and Caelim Keogh added points soon after as Dublin came under increasing pressure but the cool heads of Ciaran Kilkenny, Scully and Howard\u00a0saw them take the sting from Roscommon\u2019s comeback.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alex Gavin\u2019s point in the 63rd\u00a0minute was equally significant as the home challenge wilted and Dublin pressed home their dominance through late points from McGinnis and Ross McGarry. \u00a0<\/p>\n
