B A L LY B O D E N S t Enda’s Stephen Hiney and Kilmacud Crokes’ Ryan O’Dw yer both made their return to the Dublin senior hurling starting line-up last we e ke n d f o l l ow i n g injury as part of a much changed line-up for the visit of Carlow to Parnell Park. They now have an NHL Division 1B final date against Limerick as they helped the side to victory by 13 points, with Boden’s Niall McMorrow weighing in with 2-1 while Paul Ryan came off the bench to snag seven points. Hiney put in a strong stint in the half-backs alongside club mate Conal Keaney who was in the unfamiliar centre back position. O’Dwyer, meanwhile, brought a physical presence to the forward lines as Anthony Daly shuffled his deck ahead of the league final and the
summer’s championship challenges. The first half was a scrappy performance that initially saw Dublin struggle in an untidy opening pock-marked with a large number of wides. McMorrow did score an exquisite goal when he raced in from the left and batted home a classy finish. It added to Kevin Byrne’s earlier goal, tapping home from David Treacy’s clever pass across the posts from the baseline. Carlow were reasonably efficient at the far end, clipping over seven points in the first half while Dublin laboured but still managed to finish the half 2-5 to 0-7 up. The second half was tidier with Ryan coming off the bench to land seven points while McMorrow scored his second goal, setting up a final date with Limerick next Saturday in Thurles at 7pm.
Ladies Earlier in the day,
the Dublin ladies were unceremoniously put to the sword by a Monaghan side flying high who continued their unbeaten run in the NFL division one to date in 2013. Boden’s Rachel Ruddy started at corner back with club mate Natalya Hyland at full-forward with Foxrock Cabinteely’s Emma McDonagh in support. But it was a pale shadow of the regular Jackies line-up who were vastly understrength without the likes of Foxrock skipper Sinead Goldrick (hamstring), All-Star Sinead Aherne (illness), goalkeeper Cliodhna O ’ C o n n o r, N i a m h
McEvoy (knee), Orlagh Egan (shoulder) and Kim Flood (broken foot) while Aimee Hazley and Emma Merrigan were also unavailable. Monaghan raised the green flag on four occasions in the opening half whilst playing against the breeze. Therese McNally and Caoimhe Mohan got a goal a piece while full forward Ciara McAnespie hit Dublin on the double, resulting in Monaghan taking a 12-point lead in the dressing room at half time. And despite Denise McKenna’s second half goal, 10 more points from the Farney county saw them run out 4-15 to 1-5 winners.
