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.
He has taken them as far as he can.
Doesn’t seem to have the humility to resign. They have to sack him.
Stephen Kenny has well and truly had the last laugh.
Unfair- not sure he realizes he’s working in a results game and City ain’t winning
If he has any respect for himself he will quit but I suppose he’s holding out for a payoff.
It wont get any better with him still as manager.whats going to change,hes a stubborn man,nothing will change only our position in the table.second from bottom soon.thanks john.
It will be interesting to see if the Foras management team are prepared to show leadership here.
While a great admirer of his achievements over the ladt 5 years its obvious the club have stagnated now. The signs were there all last season and sadly are evident for all to see now….
Leadership has to been shown from the board in this situation if John is still adamant in staying on even tho results are in constant decline……
@Michéal Breathnach: foras i feel hasnt helped this year by cutting the budget as much as they did.how can we compete with the rest of the league losing alot of our players .we were a strong club doing well year in year out.now we are fighting to stay in the league,yes john caulfield is a big problem with hisnegative football,but foras isnt helping either.they are pulling us back now,i know people are afraid of it over what happened before,but we need proper investment in the club.
@troy holland: You are right about foras, they have to take responsibility for their part in this mess. I would love to know what their strategic plan is for the next couple of seasons, that’s if they have one. Its a dangerous game they are playing and so far it looks like they are on the wrong path….
@Michéal Breathnach: yes your right .i was wondering was i the only one thinking this.the season was lost even before it started.
Good times are gone now, foras have decided that we will no longer challenge for the League and Cup, which is fine if thats the way they want to run the club but gates will drop massively , won’t sell any merchandise and zero atmosphere at games. Wonder why Foras are so quiet at the moment? Will they publickly back the present management team? Strange…..
Looks like that question wasn’t so unfair after all.
He was stubborn when we were winning and hes still the same now. No change with him. None at all.
I feel the players have lost a huge amount of appetite and those who have come in, predominantly are no where near the quality needed.
However I do feel that a few of the younger players are real jems.
A huge reset button this season is being pushed. I hope there is a long term plan in place
