ST JUDES 0-13 ST OLIVER PLUNKETTS/ER 0-10

The men from Tymon North booked a semi-final appointment against St Marys of Saggart when they showed the better nerve in this Evening Herald Dublin SFC quarter-final replay at Parnell Park on Wednesday night.

Judes continued where they left off in the drawn game and led 0-7 to 0-3 at the interval.

However, with seven minutes to play Plunketts had edged in front by a point but their shooting was letting them down - much as it had two seasons ago when Judes toppled them at the same stage of the championship. The wides tally of 13 v 2 tells its own tale.

Kevin McManamon continued a fine campaign by lodging another impressive showing. It was his accuracy which ultimately divided the sides.

Yet by the 43rd minute they were level
on 0-8 each following four unanswered points from Gareth Smith, sub Adrian Darcy, Jason Sherlock and a Bernard Brogan free.

A fine Kevin McManamon point edged Judes in front again before
Alan Brogan released his younger brother who tried to ease the ball over Paul Copeland - it bounced narrowly wide.

Bernard then equalised before a combination involving Anthony Moyles and Sherlock saw Darcy nudge Plunketts in front.

The match was in the melting pot - a case of they who dared won as Kevin McManamon fired over two points and Andy Glover another as Judes put in a sprint finish to claim victory and ensure it is all southside teams in the last four.
