All-Ireland champions Cuala were edged out by Ballyboden St Enda’s in the Go-Ahead Dublin SFC semi-final, with Na Fianna accounting for Kilmacud Crokes by the bare minimum in the other semi.<\/p>\n
Ballyboden had two points to spare – 3-21 to 2-22 – over the Dalkey outfit, who achieved their maiden All-Ireland success last season.<\/p>\n
With five minutes left at Parnell Park, Cuala were ahead by seven points but a brace of goals, the second in added time, from Daire Sweeney brought about a thrilling conclusion as Ballyboden reached the decider.<\/p>\n
Sweeney finished with a total of 2-08, with Colm Basquel getting the other goal for the victors.<\/p>\n
Conor O’Brien and Peadar \u00d3 Cofaigh Byrne raised green flags for Cuala, who enjoyed a six-point half-time advantage.<\/p>\n
The Donnycarney venue also played host to a cracker as Na Fianna prevailed against the Crokes on a 3-11 to 1-16 scoreline.<\/p>\n
James Doran, who was to the fore in Na Fianna’s quarter-final win against Ballymun Kickhams, kicked the winning point in a game where Crokes’ Shane Walsh fired over three two-pointers in a personal tally of 1-11.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"All-Ireland champions Cuala were edged out by Ballyboden St Enda’s in the Go-Ahead Dublin SFC semi-final, with Na…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":62594,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-62593","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62593","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62593"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62593\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62594"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62593"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62593"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62593"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
