St Oliver Plunkett’s/ER 0-14 St Jude’s 2-8
St Mary’s 1-8 UCD 0-9
St Jude’s launched an incredible second-half comeback to force a draw with St Oliver Plunkett’s/ER at Parnell Park last night.
Bernard Brogan’s 33rd minute point put last year’s finalists 0-12 to 0-2 in front after a superb performance in the opening half.
But Jude’s clawed back the 10-point deficit, with substitute Brian Monaghan scoring the all-important equalising goal in injury time.
Joey Donnelly set up Andy Glover to fist to the net two minutes after Brogan’s point to kick off the fightback. Jude’s then kicked four points in succession to leave the gap at four with 10 minutes left.
James Brogan made the gap five, but Kevin McManamon and Joey Donnelly pointed to leave three between the teams, before Monaghan stayed cool to finish at the second attempt.

St Mary’s impressive run gathers pace
ST MARY’S added UCD to their impressive list of scalps as they booked their place in the semi-finals. Having dismissed 2008 All-Ireland winners St Vincent’s in the previous round, the men from Saggart never trailed the Students at Parnell Park.
Blaine Kelly featured prominently as a slow-burning first half left St Mary’s ahead by 0-5 to
0-3, but a fortuitous goal early in the second half proved crucial as a long-range Kelly free was fumbled by Stephen Gallagher and Declan Byrne scrambled the ball home.
UCD upped their game and scored five points in eight minutes to level proceedings with 13 minutes remaining. However, David Marshall superbly converted a free-kick from the sideline to restore Mary’s lead.
Scorers – St Mary’s: D Byrne 1-1, D Marshall 0-3 (0-1f), Blaine Kelly 0-2, S Walsh, Benjy Kelly 0-1. UCD: M Ronaldson 0-5 (0-4f), D St Ledger, M Smith, R Mallon, R Maloney 0-1.
