Dublin had seven points to spare over Roscommon at Croke Park.
IF THIS IS the future for Dublin, with Con O’Callaghan perhaps as their long-term captain and thriving like this, then supporters will be licking their lips.
The winning margin didn’t flatter them either as O’Callaghan’s seven-point haul, a brilliant display from Sean Bugler, a Niall Scully goal and big impacts from Brian Fenton, Ciaran Kilkenny and Lee Gannon all added up to a powerful performance. Dublin will return to Croke Park next Saturday to take on Kerry in a repeat of last year’s All-Ireland final while Roscommon, still chasing their first win of the Division One campaign and now starting to fear a relegation battle, will host Monaghan on the Sunday.
He plagued Dublin’s defence, scoring two first-half points and going so close to grabbing a 17th minute goal. Murtagh set him free with a hand-pass over the top, allowing Cregg to get in behind MacMahon along the right endline. Cregg’s hand-pass for a point appeared to glance off Sean MacMahon’s outstretched fingertips before looping into the net, though referee Sean Hurson gave a free out for a hand-passed goal.
Dublin, who struck seven first-half wides, led marginally at the interval, 0-8 to 0-7, thanks to Fenton’s long-range stoppage time score but it remained anyone’s game. Advertisement Dublin were already pulling away from Roscommon at that stage following points from O’Callaghan and Bugler and the Scully goal left seven points between them, 1-13 to 0-9.
