Dublin champions score three goals in repeat of last season’s Leinster decider
Naas fell five points adrift but thanks to some nice scores by Alex Beirne they cut the deficit to the minimum midway through the opening period, before Kilmacud midfielder Dias raced through the middle of the defence and unleashed an unstoppable thunderbolt beyond Mullins.
Andrew McGowan was superb throughout for Crokes. The wing back made a brilliantly timed diving block on a Darragh Kirwan shot early in the second half and moments later he provided the pass for Kenny to slide home Kilmacud’s third goal. Kirwan popped over some lovely scores for Naas in the second half while Shane Walsh, again, and Shane Cunningham put on an exhibition with some of their point-taking as reigning Leinster champions Crokes eased to a Croke Park semi-final against Portarlington.: C Ferris; T Clancy, M Mullin, D O’Brien; C O’Shea, R O’Carroll, A McGowan; C Dias , B Shovlin; A Jones , S Walsh , S Horan ; H Kenny , S Cunningham , D Mullin .
