Dublin 3-15
Carlow 0-18
Paul Keane reporting at Parnell Park
THE HALF-TIME introduction of Donal Burke was crucial at Parnell Park where hot favourites Dublin came from behind to secure a battling Allianz NHL Division 1B win.
Burke, among a group of Dublin players who featured for DCU in the Fitzgibbon Cup this week, didn’t start but bailed his team out with 1-4 after coming on.
Dublin trailed by two points at the interval and looked to be in real trouble on a miserable night for hurling in the capital.
But Burke and fellow sub Danny Sutcliffe combined to turned the game on its head with strong second-half performances.
Tomas Connolly and Oisin O’Rorke, two more subs, each pointed as new manager Mattie Kenny just about avoided the banana skin presented by the McDonagh Cup champions.
Carlow were 8/1 outsiders to win beforehand but aided by the excellent Marty Kavanagh, who hit 0-12 on the night, pushed Dublin all the way.
Kavanagh took the frees for Colm Bonnar’s side but was hugely influential in open play also and scored eight of their first-half points.
Ted Joyce and Seamus Murphy were also on the mark as Carlow led 0-11 to 1-6 at half-time despite conceding a fourth minute goal to Dublin’s Darragh O’Connell.
The break seemed to settle Dublin and they returned for the second-half a different team, opening up with a 1-3 blast to regain the lead.
Eamonn Dillon scored their goal in the 40th minute after good work by John Hetherton who had a strong game for a Dublin side missing Conal Keaney, Cian O’Callaghan and Mark Schutte.
Connolly and Paddy Smyth added points and Burke hit three in a row to keep Carlow at bay though the visitors refused to throw in the towel and were just two behind in the 65th minute, largely thanks to Kavanagh’s free-taking.
That’s when Burke was played in by Dillon for Dublin’s third goal and the strike at the Church end of the ground ultimately settled the game.
Scorers for Dublin: Donal Burke 1-4, Eamonn Dillon 1-1, John Hetherton 0-4 (0-3f), Darragh O’Connell 1-0, Fiontan McGibb 0-2, Oisin O’Rorke 0-1 (0-1f), Feargal Whitely 0-1, Tomas Connolly 0-1, Paddy Smyth 0-1.
Scorers for Carlow: Marty Kavanagh 0-12 (0-9f), Ted Joyce 0-2, Chris Nolan 0-2, James Doyle 0-1, Seamus Murphy 0-1.

He’s one more win from getting his British passport back!!!
Great comment. Well done
There’s a new one!
How hilarious. And so original. I’ve almost never heard that gag before.
But tell me this. Once the ocean of laughter has subsided and we’ve all had our sides stiched up, I’m curious to know whether there’s any actual evidence for your implication that the Brits claim Murray as their own when he wins and refer to him as Scottish when he loses. Are there any facts to back that up, or is it just another one of our bitter little fantasies?
You sound bitter yourself. And yes commentators have been known to make him a Brit when he wins
Wow, some vintage “logical thinking” there. Gotta hand it to you, you’re a latter-day Wittgenstein. But, at the risk of repeating myself, do you have any actual evidence for your suggestion that they’re more likely to refer to him as British when he wins than when he loses? Or did you just make it up?
She is pure dirt and I like it.
I love the way she spots herself on the big screen at the end of her rant and the eyes go very wide.
She looks very naughty..
Goes like “if it wasn’t for the money,I’d never go near this boring,ugly Scottish p€(&k. And his mother is suck an annoying B$£%h I hope she gets hit in the mouth with a tennis ball”
Anger issues perhaps, Fearghal?

Something along the lines of ‘f*cking have that you Chech flash f*ck’ is what it looks like to me!
It’s quite clear. They’re saying “…up..town funk you up, I said uptown funk you up…”
She’s saying “fcuk, what a fcukin loser – should’ve hit on the other guy”
He’s saying “fcuk with a few more wins, I could have a chick without a giant forehead – like Ester … “
Something about putting up a shelf !
Think she said: ” I’d fecking love a fish fecking supper with fecking fresh fecking fish”?
You win my vote. Ha awesome!
I think she’s saying “the journals using fluching sh!t vines again, fluichs sake.
“Fu3k off ya shagging french fu3ker.” I am 98% certain. Filthy dirty bird. And before you ask yes I am a born professional lip reader. 35 years experience.
How can we speculate on what she is saying if there is a bold word filter, for flock sake! See what I mean, we are all adults, mostly, so why can’t we say the bold words?! You can keep the ‘C’ word on the ‘bold word’ list but allow it during articles about cyclists!
Fu@king have that shit you flash fu@ck… Nice!!
Think Andys goin to get his rocks off tonight
I got “u may be beautiful but they’re keeping my idea on file, in a filing cabinet”
If I’m right, she ought to be ashamed. Filth.
Cheer up you miserable scotch cannnttt
“I’m gonna f@@kin make you the best f@@kin sandwich you ever had when we get home……f@@k”

Second attempt: “F*ck off, Berdych, you old fashioned f*ck”!
“I’m a lovely shy fat fan”
Andy Murray “ah f@ck, come on”
“I feel like having a shite, fart after fart…” Bad lip read?
