Dublin 3-11\u00a0Cork 2-13\n <\/p>\n

\n Heartbreak for Cork as they lost out to Dublin in their TG4 All-Ireland ladies football championship quarter-final clash at Parnell Park on Saturday night. <\/p>\n

\n Cork didn\u2019t deserve to be beaten. It was a late defensive mistake that cost the Rebels, gifting Dublin their third goal to put them in front. Cork did pull a late point back but it was too late.\u00a0\n <\/p>\n

\n It’s a game Joe Carroll’s side know they deserved to win. That defensive mistake will haunt them for some time.\n <\/p>\n

\n Kate Sullivan put Dublin in front in the first minute, but the Rebels responded in style.\n <\/p>\n

\n A quick free from Grace Murphy ended with Leah Hallihan taking on the Dublin defence.\n <\/p>\n

\n She beat several defenders before blasting to the back of the net, giving Abby Shiels no chance of saving.\n <\/p>\n

\n Orlagh Nolan pointed for Dublin with their next attack, to make it 1-0 to 0-2 after four minutes.\n <\/p>\n

\n Three minutes later and the sides were level when Jodi Egan scored Dublin\u2019s third point.\n <\/p>\n

\n The home side had a chance to retake the lead, but Nolan shot narrowly wide from a free, one she would be expected to score.\n <\/p>\n

\n Aine Terry pointed for Cork, but Dublin retook the lead after 11 minutes.\n <\/p>\n

\n Niamh Hetherton picked up the ball in front of the Cork goal and gave Sarah Murphy no chance of saving with a shot to the top corner, to make it 1-3 to 1-1.\n <\/p>\n

\n Melissa Duggan made it a one-point game after making one of her trade mark runs from defence to point after 13 minutes.\n <\/p>\n

\n Egan got her second point when she fisted over the bar, but it should have been a goal as she had it at her mercy after Murphy had come off her line to tackle her.\n <\/p>\n

\n With 15 minutes gone Katie Quirke pointed from a free for Cork, with Sullivan replying at the other end, to make it 1-5 to 1-3 in favour of the home side.\n <\/p>\n

\n Cork then enjoyed their best spell of the first half, with Maire O\u2019Callaghan reducing the deficit to one.\n <\/p>\n

\n Aine O\u2019Sullivan had the sides level, and she put Cork in front with two minutes to half time.\n <\/p>\n

\n Sullivan equalised for Dublin, but on the stroke of half time Emma Cleary put Cork back in front, as they led by 1-7 to 1-6 at the break.\n <\/p>\n

\n Nolan had the side level again two minutes into the second half as Dublin were now playing with the wind in their favour.\n <\/p>\n

Sullivan added another to make it 1-8 to 1-7 in Dublin\u2019s favour after 33 minutes.<\/p>\n

\n Grace Murphy replied for Cork to see them level for the fifth time, 1-8 apiece.\n <\/p>\n

\n Laura Grendon scored from a tight angle for Dublin, with Hallihan replying.\n <\/p>\n

\n Cork thought they had a second goal when Hallihan palmed to the net, but it was ruled out for square ball.\n <\/p>\n

\n However, the ref was playing advantage, and Quirke pointed the free to put the Rebels back in front, 1-10 to 1-9.\n <\/p>\n

\n Quirke added another from a free after she was fouled herself, to put two points between the sides.\u00a0Nolan responded at the other end from a free to make it a one-point game again with 12 minutes to go.<\/p>\n

\n Quirke replied at the other end to make it a two-point game before Cork deservedly got their second goal.\n <\/p>\n

\n Dublin were back in contention when Hetherton took on a two point effort which fell short. Nolan and Michelle Davoren were in around the square and between them they found the back of the net, to make it 2-10 to 2-12.\n <\/p>\n

\n From the restart a mistake in the Cork defence let Dublin in again and Sullivan got their third goal in a killer blow for Cork.\n <\/p>\n

Kate Donaghy added a point to put two between the sides, before Quirke scored for Cork.<\/p>\n

But it came on the hooter as Dublin advance and Cork bow out of the championship.<\/p>\n
