Brave Cork performance comes up short as Dublin find a way to secure win
All-Ireland SFC preliminary quarter-fin al: Dublin 1-19 (1-1-18) Cork 1-16 (1-0-16) Brave and bold, Cork went out of the championship on their shields against a Con O'Callaghan-less Dublin in this evening's All-Ireland preliminary quarter-final in Croke Park. Cork led as late as the 53rd minute and were level five minutes later but ultimately ran out of juice as Dublin secured a place in next weekend's last-eight fixtures. Whether their captain O'Callaghan will be fit for that remains to be seen but here their workmanlike efforts were sufficient to keep John Cleary's side at bay. Trailing from the 11th minute, Dublin shot back into the lead in the 45th when Brian Howard took receipt of an indirect Ciarán Kilkenny free-kick, weaved his way through and smashed the ball to the top left corner of Micheál Aodh Martin's net. That had followed scores from Lee Gannon and Niall Scully when it appeared Dublin had made the necessary adjustments at half-time to wrestle back the kick-out advantage. However, Cork's response was convincing. Colm O'Callaghan split the posts for a second time in the game and then Chris Óg Jones in the 48th minute showed some great stopping strength to point and the visitors were only one behind, 1-11 to 1-12. Cork's rearguard combined well to keep out a Gannon goal chance in the 46th minute and not only did they go level via Mark Cronin, they went ahead when Seán Walsh arced one over in the 53rd minute. The lead returned to Dublin as Paddy Small followed up a Cormac Costello score but the teams would be level another couple of times in the following couple of minutes, Jones and substitute Cathail O'Mahony fisted over Cork's contributions. Scores from Costello and Small gave Dublin some breathing space. The margin was one in the 63rd minute when Cronin converted a free won by Seán Powter but it was cancelled out by one by Costello. A Seán McDonnell two-point free attempt dropped short and substitute Luke Breathnach gave Dublin more of a cushion with a 69th minute point. Dublin started as they meant to go on, kicking four points from play in the first five minutes to no response from Cork. Paddy Small sent over the first couple followed by Ciarán Kilkenny and Seán Bugler. Cork were being hounded out of retrieving their kick-outs but when they eventually got the hang of them, they settled. Dublin didn't score again until the 17th minute by which time Cork had produced 1-3. From play and a placed ball, Cronin sent over two scores in the space of as many minutes and Jones's 11th minute goal came off the kick-out from Cronin's second score. Brian Hurley forced Eoin Murchan into putting the ball out of play, took the resultant kick quickly into an unmarked Ian Maguire who squared it to an on-running Jones for an exquisite finish. Hurley landed his first point in the 16th minute and while John Small responded soon afterwards the Cork captain was again finding space for himself to score a minute later. The teams exchanged scores one after another up to the half-hour mark when Micheál Aodh Martin punted over a 45. That came after Stephen Cluxton parried away a Jones's strike after he had escaped Murchan to collect a fine pass from Cronin. For all their early prowess, Dublin were finding Cork's defenders a more miserly crew as the half wore on. Neil Lordan had his difficulties with Small in the opening exchanges but recovered well to handle him towards half-time. Jones added to his tally with a first point in the 34th minute and Cork were four to the good prior to Bugler sending over a two-pointer to give Dublin a slightly flattering two-point deficit at the interval, 0-9 to 1-8. Scorers for Dublin: S. Bugler (1tp), C. Costello (2 frees (0-5 each); B. Howard (1-0); P. Small (0-4); C. Kilkenny, J. Small, L. Gannon, N. Scully, L. Breathnach (0-1 each). Scorers for Cork: C. Jones (1-3); M. Cronin (0-5, 2 frees); B. Hurley, C. O'Callaghan (0-2 each); I Maguire, M.A. Martin, S. Walsh (45), C. O'Mahony (0-1 each). DUBLIN: S. Cluxton; E. Murchan, D. Byrne, S. MacMahon; B. Howard, J. Small, L. Gannon; P. Ó Cofaigh-Byrne, C. Kilkenny (c); K. McGinnis, S. Bugler, N. Scully; P. Small, L. O'Dell, C. Costello. Subs: C. Murphy for L. O'Dell (45); L. Breathnach for K. McGinnis (56); T. Lahiff for L. Gannon (59); N. Doran for N. Scully (68). CORK: M.A. Martin; M. Shanley, D. O'Mahony, N. Lordan; B. O'Driscoll, S. Brady, M. Taylor; P. Walsh, C. O'Callaghan; I.

Ó Ceallacháin:' We knew they wouldn't fold, we knew we'd be in it'
A most remarkable afternoon at Croke Park. Outsiders, written-off, looked on as a run-out for Limerick – Dublin didn't read the script. Indeed, they failed to revert into their shell when captain Chris Crummey was dismissed after just fifteen minutes. Their two more recent quarter-finals were forgettable afternoons. Thumped by Clare in 2023, their radar was one of their main issues when they succumbed to Cork 12 months ago – but they have a new man in charge. Niall Ó Ceallacháin doesn't read scripts, and if he does, he tears them to shreds. Na Fianna, All-Ireland Club Champions in the early spring, and now they've knocked out Limerick – a side fancied by so many to reach the final, once again. 'Very proud. It is a complicated game – but it was just character that won that game. So many things against us, absolutely written off by ye (the media) and everyone else. To go down a man in those conditions after 15 minutes, I would have to be just so proud of the lads', explained the Dublin Bainisteoir. Short their launchpad, Crummey, it was not something anybody would plan for 'We obviously prepare for a lot of scenarios, but we just prepare from a set-up perspective, so we just know what we are at from that point of view. In the case of inter-county hurling, there is only a certain amount of preparation you can do. 'You need to physically be able to do it and stay at it for that period (of time), so for the boys to stay at it and have the lads in that shape. But most of it is deep in your stomach, to have that character and the will and hunger to do it – that it what we are proud of.' Just before the two game-changing, and game-winning goals, the Treaty snuck ahead. 'I've no doubt that the expectation would have been that Limerick would settle into their stride and go three, four or five points up but that underestimates is the character that is in our dressing room. We knew the lads wouldn't falter, a lot happens in a game, we knew they wouldn't fold, we knew we'd be in it.' Seán Brennan, the Cuala netminder, who has returned to the side, denied Aaron Gillane when the net seemed likely to ripple again, 'It is a huge moment, the lad striking the ball (Aaron Gillane), is a good a striker of the ball as there is. These are the big moments in big games, it could easily have went the other way. In any game at this level, there are big moments, Sean was brilliant. A squad that is building, albeit seemed slowly during the Leinster Championship, have now arrived. They'd won the games they were expected to win, but now they've delivered something only they expected. 'The whole thing means a hell of a lot to them (the squad). They are a very well-connected group, they are very close is what I'd say, they have each other's backs, it means a lot to them and they look out for each other. In the chaos of what happens out there you need to know that the lads have your back – and they do." 'To answer honestly, it probably hasn't sunk in. I get it, Limerick for what they are, and what they've won, going down to 14, it is an incredible achievement. In our minds, there are four games here, there are two down and two to go," explained the Na Fianna clubman, coldly. 'We are out again in two weeks time, I don't mean to state the obvious, but we will park this in the morning. That's not to understate the day that is in it, I totally understand that but this will be long forgotten if we don't follow through in two weeks time.' Dublin are now just 70 minutes short of a first All-Ireland Hurling final since 1961.
