St Judes 1-16
Lucan Sarsfields 1-11
ST JUDES ARE into the final of the Dublin senior hurling final for the second consecutive year thanks to a win over Lucan Sarsfields tonight.
Templeogue side Judes, who lost out to Kilmacud Croke in last year’s final, raced into a 0-5 to 0-1 lead at Parnell Park, but Sarsfields hit back on 14 minutes when full-forward Kevin O’Reilly found the back of the net from a free.
The sides continued to exchange scores and it was Sarsfields who held a 1-9 to 0-8 advantage heading into half-time.
Judes levelled up through Tom Devlin’s goal on 33 minutes and they edged ahead after Neal Mangan’s point but that man O’Reilly responded with another free.
While Lucan would only score one more point on the night, Judes began to take control and finished the game with a four-point cushion.
They will now meet Cuala, who got the better of Ballyboden St Enda’s earlier this month, at Parnell Park on Saturday, 31 October.
Throw-in is 4pm.
Why do Dublin championship games be played mid week?Can’t be ideal for lads working
It’s a big rush to get them sorted cause the Leinster club championship is starting.
It’s midweek because all the other championships are on at the same time, Senior, B championship, inters junior and in both codes. It’s as complicated as a school timetable, you can’t have clashes because one club can be in more than one championship etc. It’s all squashed in but not the easiest thing to remedy but saying that all the junior and inter championships should be done and dusted during the summer, don’t understand the delay
Its an absolute disgrace that a county semi final was played at 8.15pm on a wednesday night..if the county board want to promote the game, they are making a poor hand of it.
The clubs don’t help at times. Hurling championship Games where held up for lads who were on the county football bench. In some cases these guys didn’t even play hurling when the next round eventually went ahead.
I don’t know of any other county that plays club championship matches midweek.
Fixing the final for Halloween and at the same time as the Rugby World Cup Final is surely not a smart decision either.
Won’t make a difference for me, Ireland are out, hurling would be more exciting
Cuala v Judes, big day for both clubs, cuala haven’t won since 1994 and Judes have never won as far as i know. Nice to see! Boden and Crokes have dominated for the last number of years and a change is comin!
