Photograph: Bryan Keane/Inphoin the first of Saturday afternoon’s two Glen Dimplex All-Ireland senior semi-finals, with Amy Lee’s first-minute penalty save setting them on a straight path to a comprehensive victory at UPMC Nowlan Park.
The two teams operated with very contrasting styles, with Dublin using a mix of long ball and running from midfield, while Cork played the ball through the lines with accuracy and efficiency.‘A special time’: Armagh savours season in the sun as even the moon lends support O’Connor was on the mark from frees and from play, McCarthy struck over two majestic points from distance and she also delivered the explosive run that set up Cahalane for the game’s first goal.
Laura Hayes opened the scoring for the Rebels after the interval and when Dublin’s Sinéad Wylde saw her goal attempt crash back into play off the upright, it felt as if Cork’s progression through to their fourth consecutive All-Ireland decider was guaranteed. Cork manager Ger Manley was able to flex somewhat by dipping deep into his bench and he got a substantial contribution in the form of 1-4 from play from his replacements, including two points from Clodagh Finn and Sorcha McCartan’s goal with her first possession after coming on to the pitch.
