O'Donovan and McCarthy among three Irish boats to reach A/B semis in Belgrade

Separate duos of Nathan Timoney and Ross Corrigan, and Phil Doyle and Daire Lynch, are also through to their semi-finals.

OLYMPIC CHAMPIONS PAUL O’Donovan and Fintan McCarthy breezed into the A/B semi-finals of the men’s lightweight double sculls at the World Rowing Championships in Belgrade this afternoon.

The West Cork duo cruised through their quarter-final, moving ahead of Italians Stefano Oppo and Gabriel Soares after the half-way mark to win by more than three seconds in 6:46.53.

O’Donovan and McCarthy know that a top-three placing in Thursday’s semi-final will be enough to clinch qualification for the Paris Olympics next year.

But there was a major shock elsewhere in the lightweight double sculls as France’s Hugo Beurey and Ferdinand Ludwig — who beat the Irish duo at World Rowing Cup III in Lucerne in July — finished fifth, and now must try to salvage qualification for their home games at the final qualifying regatta next May.

Fermanagh duo Nathan Timoney and Ross Corrigan qualified for the A/B semi-finals of the men’s pair with a second-placed finish in their quarter.

Timoney and Corrigan need a top-11 finish at the Worlds to qualify their boat for Paris.

In the men’s double sculls, Lisburn’s Phil Doyle and Tipperary’s Daire Lynch also reached their A/B semi after a second-placed finish in their quarter-final.

In the lightweight men’s scull quarter-finals, Jake McCarthy finished fifth and will return to the water on Thursday for the C/D semi-final.

    @Talleyrand Frye:

    It’s a badly written tirade against Dubliners by someone who clearly has a number of chips on both her shoulders. Everyone enjoys a bit of inter-regional banter, but this piece is just mean-spirited. Many Dubs and many non-Dubs who love Dublin are just irritated that this piece of garbage journalism is presented by the IT which invariably speaks to those who would like to see the urban – rural divide increase. The writer must know, there are many in Dublin who are ecstatic that she ‘can’t afford to live in Dublin’. We want harmony not division.

Lived in Dublin for a while, liked it a lot and have good time for most people I met in Dublin. As you said, some inter-county banter is a bit of fun, but stupid stereotypes like in that article are only written to annoy people and don’t offer any real insight to their chosen topic at all.

Mayo will put it up to the Dubs, think. 2 best teams by a country mile in the final and both teams will go on the attack. Shows Ulster football have fallen so far…Derry minors play a lovely brand of football though

    Tactically Dublin got it spot on. Avoided bringing the ball into contact and being bottled up by that Tyrone defence and switching the play from side to side to stretch them and work the openings. Resulted in a less exciting game but yielded the desired the result so fair play to Jim Gavin and co

Mayo will bring an athleticism, battle hardened edge and intensity that Dublin will not have faced this season. There was only a kick of the ball between them last year and Mayo are hungrier and better than they were last year.

    @Thomas McGilly: Spot on analysis Thomas. Tyrone simply lay down when the only plan they had didn’t work. Pundits heaping acclaim on Dubs are idiots, Dublin have had no test whatever this year. Mayo are battle hardened and the only team in the country as Dublin’s equal. The Dubs could well be caught cold in the final, playing pretty footie today against zone marking statues will count for little in 3 weeks against physical power of Mayo.

    @Turk Oneeighttwo: I agree that Dublin have not had a serious test this year but exactly who are Mayo battle hardened from playing? The poorest Kerry team I’ve seen in years? One thing is for sure. Mayo have not played a team of Dublin calibre this year either. I think Mayo are a fantastic team with huge grit as well as skill but they haven’t pulled up any trees this year either. Gavin referenced last year’s final after today’s match saying that Dublin didn’t turn up for either game. I don’t think that will happen this year. I think it will be a cracking game but games against poor opposition doesn’t battle harden you. They were well beaten by Roscommon this year (albeit early in the year). This Dublin team is now starting to show a streak of ruthlessness for 70 minutes. The 3 week rest might actually go against Mayo as they have been used to quick turnarounds all season. But the biggest factor could be the managers. Rochford is capable of some very strange tactical decisions. Should be very interesting! One things for sure. If Mayo beat Dublin they will have earned Sam and I don’t think anyone (even in Dublin) would begrudge them that. But it’s still a very big if.

It is up to other teams to match the intensity, skill and passion which Dublin bring to the table. It is over 30 years since this country has had the chance to celebrate a treble winning side, so let’s put all this city v country rivalry aside and get behind the greatest team of the modern era making history for all of us to enjoy.

    Tyrone played same way since 08 and haven’t changed, result no all ireland finals since. They need fresh vision and better tactician. They never chased the game and basically had no plan b.

    Good Dublin team. I would not pay 2 euro to see that type of game every time. Same game start to finish

    Dublin easily the better team today. Can’t see Mayo stopping them either.

    ‘Ridonculous’ is the word to describe how good Con O’Callaghan is.

    Well done to Dublin but the worst championship of all time. The gap in class now between top 4 or 5 and the rest is becoming irreversible. This is the first time I watched the premiership over a all ireland semi final.

    Darren Daly made the last pass for Eoghan O Gara’s goal, not Con O Callaghan, credit where it is due

    Qualifying for semi final via the Provincial routes does not guarantee that the top teams will meet.

    In fact the semis are an anti climax

    @trebloc01: in other words. The dubs are the best and I want change since our own bum teams can’t beat them.

    @fella la fella: he’s right. You have to look at the environments of the other counties in terms of funding, liaisons officers, players, facilities. Regardless of it being Dublin, Kerry, Mayo etc something needs to be done. If at the start of the years you were asked what the semi final line up was you’d of guessed that 4 am I right ?

    Boring game, threw in the towel after ten minutes of the second half and headed for home, absolutely no competition. Mayo can beat the Dubs by man to man marking.
