Seniors beat St Pats in Championship

On Saturday 18th September 2010 Crokes senior hurlers confirmed their progression to the Dublin senior hurling championship quarter finals with a 1-11 to 0-11 over St Patricks Palmerstown at Glenauline Park.

After twenty minutes, against the already relegation play off bound opposition, the sides were level 0-4 apiece.  An unanswered 1-4 made it 1-8 to 0-4 at the interval.  While the result was never really in doubt, with fifty five minutes gone the Kilmacud side, having scored just two second half points and holding a 1-10 to 0-10 lead, were vulnerable to a late rally.  Fortunately this did not come and in the remaining time the sides exchange points.  A considerable improvement will be needed on this form to advance further. 

Team:

Macd O’hOgain, S O’Rorke, N Lillis, G McMorrow, R Walsh, R O’Loughlin, J Doughan, Rory O’Carroll, C Clinton (0-1), A de Paor (0-2), S McGrath (0-5, f-4, 65-1), B O’Rorke, K O’Loughlin (0-2),J Burke, N O’Rearden (1-1).  Subs:  F Armstrong for K O’Loughlin (half time), Ross O’Carroll for C Clinton (39 mins) and N Corcoran for B O’Rorke (56 mins)
