SFC: Dublin advance after second half surge against Cork

Dublin progress to meet either Kerry or Mayo in the All-Ireland semi-final after seeing off Cork in a comfortable 0-21 to 0-10 victory at Croke Park today.

Cormac Costello opened the scoring for Dublin in the opening minute while Cork got their first point through Cathal O’Mahony.

Dublin outscored Cork by seven points to three in the middle of the first half with Ciaran Kilkenny and Brian Hurley particularly impressive for their respective sides.

It was double scores going into the last few minutes of the first period with Dublin causing problems on the Rebels kick out to leave it 0-8 to 0-4.

Cork however managed to put pressure on the Dublin defence for the first time in the championship. Stephen Sherlock got three points with Cork getting within in two.

Another Ciaran Kilkenny point left it at 0-10 to 0-7 at the interval but Cork were nearly in for a goal at the death through the marauding Hurley who was just about denied at the near post.

Three Dean Rock frees extended Dublin’s lead to six in the opening minutes of the second half as Cork were made to rue a couple of missed opportunities especially from placed balls.

Dublin continued to dominate as Fenton added two followed by another Rock free to make it 0-16 to 0-7 with 15 minutes to go.

John O'Rourke got Cork’s first point in 24 and a half minutes before Lee Gannon and O’Mahony traded points.

O’Mahony would added another free before Niall Scully brought Dublin’s lead back to eight points with five minutes left.

A pair of Rock frees made it 0-21 to 0-10 heading into injury time while Dublin hurling captain Eoghan O’Donnell came on for his Senior Football debut as the game petered out.

Overall, Dublin were comfortable through out despite Cork playing well in patches who will be disappointed with the amount of wides they hit.
