Raheny fairly fucked up there
Raheny 1-14 Crokes* 2-11.
ET to follow. Raheny let Crokes work a goal deep into injury from a short free.
They scored 1-2 without reply before that late on to go 3 up. At 1-13 to 1-11 they went forward with the keeper out of the picture (he came forward to challenge Fenton under the kick out) but the forward clipped the top of the bar & over with only a retreating defender to beat.
That was very naive at the end.
Raheny up 3 & conceded a goal, got one last attack & Sean McMahon Iâm not sure what he tried to do but looked easier to score than missâŚ
On a side note looks like Shane Walsh has free takeaway in stillorglin

Tried to fist it over from 14 yards out & duffed it when he could have just tapped it over.
Gaoth Dobhair into the Donegal county final with a 3-09 to 0-11 win over McCumhaills. Oisin Gallen kicking all but one of the losing teamâs scores and him double marked the entire match.
Conor Ferris v Rob Hennelly now in the shootout

Raheny the better team by some distance but very naive at the end . Crokes look a team whoâve been on the road a while and in two all Ireland finals in a row . Raheny should have worked a goal when crokes keeper was up the field at the end . Thought ref gave Raheny a lot more than he gave crokes. Think winner of championship comes from tomorrows match .

I finished my 20 mile run in St Anneâs Park this morning to collect my young lad from training & the word was Fenton had tried to lull Crokes* into a false sense of security with his Irish Times interview & an ambush was on. So near & yet so far. That said I donât feel any affinity for the club myself, maybe thatâll change if my young lads progress through the ranks & play matches for them. Weâre still in th Ogra set up - smacking tyres with hurls & so on.

Glen Maghera cruise into the Derry Semi Finals with a facile 9 point win.
The rematch with Crokes* in what would be the Club game to end all Club games remains very much ON.
Canât see it happening.
Scenes!

Unbelievably naive for sure. Ferris is a complete liability for Crokes and has been for a long time. Shaneen has wintered well in Stillorgan.

In theory if Crokes* win the Dublin County Final, Leinster should take care of itself and theyâll be there in an AI Semi.
Glen Maghera have a rougher road to navigate on paper. Slaughtneil will have to be beaten in Derry and then a Naomh Conaill will be no mugs in Ulster before they go into the trenches again with Kilcoo.
But there has to be a chance Crokes* duck it. If it still looks to be âonâ in 6 weeks time, dont be surprised to see Kilmacud* falter to a Naas or Ratoath. It looks like theyâve hit the wall themselves and the last thing theyâd want is a fair fight, 15 v 15 with Glen whoâll have McFaul on board this time. If they were to lose a fair rematch their âAll Ireland win*â would ring even hollower. From their perspective a loss in Leinster may be the lesser of two evils.

So in summary.
Crokes should win Dublin but may not
Crokes should breeze through Leinster but may not.
Gotcha
Im just not buying the âCrokes* are a tired team, on the road a long timeâ excuse. If they lose between here and an All Ireland Semi Final, it will be a fuck up.
When Corofin were doing back to back to back All Irelandâs they never looked âtiredâ.
