As detailed by Paul Keane in Dublin GAA\u2019s match report<\/a>, the late contributions capped an influential afternoon for Ballymun\u2019s experienced operators.<\/p>\n Rock finished with 0-7, including a two-point free early in the second half, while McCarthy landed an excellent two-pointer during the opening period.<\/p>\n McCarthy is now retired from inter-county football, while Rock has combined his continued involvement with Ballymun with a role in Ger Brennan\u2019s Dublin management team.<\/p>\n Longford native Keelin McGann also continued his impressive start following his transfer to Ballymun. He kicked three points, including a two-pointer, after registering 1-3 against Cuala in the opening round.<\/p>\n McGann, who previously represented Longford at senior level and DCU in the Sigerson Cup, has accumulated 1-6 during his opening two Dublin championship appearances.<\/p>\n Ballymun had led 0-11 to 0-6 after 25 minutes, but Lucan responded before the interval through Rian Doherty, Matthew Guilfoyle and Cillian Gavin to reduce the deficit to a single point.<\/p>\n Lucan looked to have completed the comeback when Lavin moved them ahead in added time, but Ballymun\u2019s big-game experience ultimately proved decisive.<\/p>\n Rock supplied the equaliser, Andrews kicked the winner and Small ensured there would be no final opportunity for Lucan to respond.<\/p>\n The victory moves Ballymun onto three points from a possible four in Group 4 and leaves O\u2019Shea\u2019s side well positioned to advance to the knockout stages.<\/p>\n SEE ALSO: Cork Star To Make History As Star-Studded Hurling For Cancer Teams Named<\/a>
