McCrabbe to start against Tipperary

Alan McCrabbe has proven his fitness ahead of the NHL Division 1 clash with Tipperary in Parnell Park on Sunday (2.30).
McCrabbe has been named at corner-forward despite being on crutches earlier this week after picking up a leg injury during the defeat to Waterford last Sunday.
Dublin make two changes in personnel for Sunday with Simon Lambert coming in at midfield (for Joey Boland) and David OCallaghan starting at corner-forward with Kevin Flynn losing out. In the reshuffle David Treacy will start at full-forward.

Dublin's Splendid performance against Tipperary

Monday, 15 February 2010 12:55

Anthony Daly named a second string to take on Tipperary at St. Brigids last Saturday night. Tipperary took the game very seriously and had twelve members of last year's team that were unlucky to lose to Kikenny. Dublin's young team took the game to Tipp and were a joy to behold. At the end they were only 3 points behind Tipp on a scoreline of 1-21 to 1-18. I t really augurs well for the future of Dublin hurling.

Congratulations to St. Brigids on their splendid facilities. They now have added a hurling wall and this will be of great help to all their young hurlers.

Farragher fires Galway to glory

Farragher fires Galway to glory

Monday February 15 2010

The 2010 Leinster hurling championship promises to be particularly interesting and an efficient Galway outfit will take ample satisfaction from this triumph.

Galway have suffered plenty of bother at Parnell Park in the National League in the past few years so the purposeful way in which this seven-point win was eked out offers cause for optimism among their followers.

A solid defence in which Shane Kavanagh and Tony Og Regan ruled supreme, a crafty midfield where Ger Farragher's immaculate stickwork thrilled, and a pacy attack that hit 1-22 while only registering three wides ensured Galway travelled back to the west heartened.

The opening period was packed with good hurling as both teams enjoyed pockets of supremacy. There were the usual glimpses of attacking skill from Galway, but what will have pleased John McIntyre was the manner in which the forwards battled. Dublin's backs were put under severe pressure as Aonghus Callanan, Aidan Harte, and Niall Hayes worked selflessly.

Callanan and David Burke nailed early points for Galway, but Dublin responded, reeling off four without reply courtesy of the polished Alan McCrabbe. Then Galway netted a 14th-minute goal. Donnellan pulled on a loose ball, Joe Gantley gathered possession, escaped from Sean O'Sullivan, and rattled the net with a blistering finish.

Moments later, Niall Corcoran, a Galway native but now a regular in the Dublin set-up, switched into full-back in an attempt to curb Gantley's influence.

Farragher, effective at centrefield, and Callanan stretched Galway's advantage with points from distance, but Dublin continued to toil diligently. Another Farragher long-range score edged Galway 1-6 to 0-6 ahead 23 minutes in, but McCrabbe and Ryan pointed from play before the All Star split the uprights with a sublime sideline cut.

Galway concluded the half with a real flourish. Substitute Eanna Ryan released Niall Cahalan, and the raiding midfielder steered Galway in front, and Farragher then delivered a delightful sideline as Galway went in at the break armed with a 1-9 to 0-10 advantage.

The third quarter carried significance for Dublin, but it was Galway who were the sharper outfit. In the 12 minutes immediately after the restart, Galway outscored the locals by seven points to two courtesy of Callanan, Farragher (3), Gantley, David Burke, and Niall Hayes as the Tribesmen edged 1-16 to 0-12 clear. Farragher's midfield promptings were splendid as the Castlegar star was drilling points from distance as well as providing ammunition to a lively forward line. Shane Durkin nicked a consolation goal for the Dubs, but Galway were full value for their success.

Scorers -- Galway: G Farragher 0-9 (5f,1 sl), J Gantley 1-3, A Callanan 0-3, D Burke, A Harte 0-2 each, N Cahalan, N Hayes, I Tannian 0-1 each. Dublin: A McCrabbe 0-11 (7f, 1 sl), S Durkin 1-0, S Lambert 0-2, S Ryan, K Flynn 0-1 each.

Monday February 08 2010

DUBLIN showed a real maturity as they overcame two second-half dismissals to see off Wexford with four points to spare in this exciting semi-final at Gorey on Saturday afternoon.

Not even the dismissal of John Kelly on 41 minutes and John McCaffrey six minutes later could prevent a determined Dubs outfit from outplaying Wexford for long stretches.

Even after being reduced to 13 players they still managed to outscore the home side 1-5 to 1-4 in a display that delighted manager Anthony Daly.

"It's very early days, but I have to say I'm delighted with the commitment and standard of hurling," said Daly.

Dublin controlled most of the opening 35 minutes, with Shane Ryan flashing home a great fifth-minute goal, and they led 1-9 to 0-8 at the interval.

Within six minutes of the restart Dublin had wing-forward Kelly sent off on a second yellow card. McCaffrey was also dismissed on a second yellow following a wild pull, leaving the visitors to play out the closing 21 minutes with 13 players.

SCORERS -- Dublin: A McCrabbe 0-6 (0-2f, 0-1 s/c), J McCaffrey 0-4 (0-2 '65s), S Ryan 1-1, K O'Loughlin 1-0, M O'Brien 0-2, D Byrne, M Carton, K Flynn, S Lambert 0-1 each. Wexford: D Lyng 1-7 (1-5f), J Berry 1-2, S Banville, W Doran, C Farrell (0-1f), C Kenny 0-1 each.

Dublin -- A Nolan; S O'Sullivan, N Corcoran, R Traynor; S Hiney, R Fallon, M O'Brien; J McCaffrey, S Lambert; D Curtin, S Ryan, J Kelly; P Carton, K Flynn, A McCrabbe. Subs: M Carton for Curtin; K O'Loughlin for P Carton; D Byrne for Ryan.

Wexford -- D Flynn; E Doyle, B Kenny, K Rossiter; D Stamp, G Jacob, P Nolan; C Farrell, M Travers; P J Nolan, W Doran, D Nolan; S Banville, D Lyng, J Berry. Subs: A Shore for Banville; C Kenny for Travers; T Mahon for Farrell; T Waters for D Nolan; M Connors for P J Nolan.

Fallon leads Dubs to victory over NUIG

Sunday, 31 January 2010 20:54

DUBLIN 2-16 NUI GALWAY 0-12

A Ronan Fallon-inspired Dublin progressed to the semi-final of the Walsh Cup with this comfortable victory in Nh Mearnóg, Portmarnock on Saturday afternoon.
The St Vincents clubman was the most influential player on the park as he turned defence into attack throughout the 70 minutes.
Dublin led 1-5 to 0-5 at half-time with the goal coming in the 24th minute when full-forward Kevin Flynn rifled clinically to the net.
That score put the Dubs 1-5 to 0-4 clear but the remainder of scores in the opening period were all by the Galway students who had earned parity, 1-5 to 0-8, by the interval.
However Dublin, despite some wayward shooting which both sides were guilty of, controlled most of the second half with four points from John Kelly helping them to victory.
Fifteen minutes from time a David Curtin goal, after he was picked out with a short free by Alan McCrabbe, helped to settle the issue and set up a last-four clash with the winners of UCD v Wexford on Sunday, February 7.

SCORERS - Dublin: J Kelly 0-5, K Flynn (0-1f), D Curtin 1-2 each, A McCrabbe 0-4 (0-4f), J McCaffrey 0-2, S Ryan 0-1. NUIG: F Coone 0-7 (0-6f), J Conlon 0-3 (0-2f), D Barrett, K Heagney 0-1.
