Paddy Small stars as Dublin down Cork gears to reach All-Ireland SFC quarter-final
DESSIE Farrell says it's 'foot on the throttle' time now after steering Dublin through to the Championship's last eight. Advertisement 2 Dublin came good with a strong finish to see off Cork to seal a spot in the quarters 2 Paddy Smalls was man of the match in the win over Cork on Saturday They played in 'fits and starts', as boss Farrell said, and chugged along at times like a side powered by dirty petrol. With no Con O'Callaghan, it was left to Paddy Small to provide the inspiration and he took the Man of the Match award. Ballymun man Small blasted four points while free-taker Cormac Costello and the ultra reliable Sean Bugler split 10 points evenly between them. John Small was excellent at centre-back in just his third start of the season too, scoring a point and setting one up for sibling Paddy. Advertisement READ MORE ON GAA But it was more Renault than Rolls Royce overall and Farrell will be hoping that's the end of the misfiring with an All-Ireland quarter-final to come. That's the stage that Dublin bowed out of last year's Championship at, to Galway, and Farrell is desperate to drive on. He said: "It's foot on the throttle time now at this stage of the season and senior players come into their own. Everyone ups their game at this time of the year and it's a great learning environment for our young fellas to be operating in. "To be fair, I think the senior lads are loving the energy that they're bringing and the enthusiasm they're bringing as well.

"But I still think there's more potential within us to be realised and that's the challenge for us between now and next weekend, seeing can we tap into that." 'Just in time for Father's Day' - Dublin GAA legends welcome the birth of precious baby daughter Dublin trailed at half-time and were still a point back with 15 minutes to go despite a terrific Brian Howard goal in the 45th minute. But a Cork side that has stuttered and stumbled through another season under John Cleary couldn't sustain that effort. Advertisement Full-forward trio Chris Og Jones, Mark Cronin and Brian Hurley notched 1-10 between them for the Rebels. But when the finishing line was in sight, Dublin motored towards it and pinched four of the game's last five points. Farrell said: "It wasn't a classic performance by any stretch but it was one where we needed to show a bit of character and dig deep - and thankfully the lads did that." Farrell reckoned Dublin were 'naive' when they failed to build on their bright start, having hit the game's first four points. Advertisement They only added three more points before Bugler lofted over a two-pointer in almost the last play of the first-half. Cork were far more efficient and seemed to rise to the occasion, just like they did against Kerry in the Munster championship. They led 1-8 to 0-9 at half-time and really turned it on in a period between the ninth and 16th minutes when they reeled off 1-3 without response. Jones blasted the goal, finishing a well worked move off a sideline kick under the Hogan Stand and shooting low across Stephen Cluxton. Advertisement Jones finished with 1-4 and showed plenty of class but Cork have put in too many middle-of-the-performances this year to really trust them to finish the job. They did at least push Dublin all the way and refused to relent even when Howard slammed in his goal. Howard spun away from Sean McDonnell too easily, although his finish high into the corner of Micheal Aodh Martin's goal had a Lamborghini stamp of class about it. Cork could have tossed in the towel but reeled off four points in a row to briefly lead again. Advertisement O'Callaghan's quality, and calmness, was missed in the Dublin attack. They got some punch at least from sub Luke Breathnach who pinched a point and their experienced performers stood up as well. Costello, Paddy Small and Bugler all weighed in with hugely important scores late on as Dublin turned the screw.

'Croke Park beckons' but Liam Cahill wants more from Tipperary
Tipperary manager Liam Cahill was delighted to see his side carve out a spot in the All-Ireland SHC semi-finals but warned that they have plenty of improving to do despite an eight-point win over Galway in Saturday's quarter-final. The Premier County got the better of Galway by 1-28 to 2-17 at the TuS Gaelic Grounds to set up a last four meeting with Kilkenny on 6 July at Croke Park, which will mark Tipp's first appearance at GAA HQ since the 2019 All-Ireland final. "We're delighted now to be in the last four of the All-Ireland series. Always a pressure game, these games," Cahill told RTÉ Sport after his side's win. "Historically, Tipp and Galway are always difficult for us anyway in Tipperary, so just delighted to get the job done today." While the eight-point winning margin looks comfortable on paper and leaves them "still in the hunt" for honours, Cahill was not best pleased with all aspects of Tipperary's play. "Credit to Galway, to be fair to them, they brought everything that we thought they would early on, could've cut us up open for even two or three goal opportunities there in the first half," he said. "We were very fortunate to be on the better end of that. But we have a lot of aspects to go after our play. Our intensity petered out a lot near the end which would be a concern. "But all in all it's about qualifying, getting the job done and we've plenty to work on for two weeks' time." However, he was impressed by how his side dealt with conceding a goal to Galway early in the second half. Winning Tipperary manager Liam Cahill believes there is plenty of room for improvement from his charges as they look forward to the All-Ireland SHC semi-finals — The Sunday Game (@TheSundayGame) June 21, 2025 "I'm absolutely delighted with that because it's a trend of this squad of players all year. We've come out of some ferocious battles already - Ennis being an example against the All-Ireland champions," he said. "When our backs were to the wall, and again today when the goal came and brought it back to two points, I think we tacked on two or three as well then to increase that gap. "That's always encouraging when you see that from the lads." Turning his attention to the semi-final against great rivals Kilkenny, he quipped that the match-up would "increase the banter" between the two counties' supporters in the build-up and "renew the rivalry of old". "Massive game for both teams and Croke Park beckons and we're just happy to be back up the N7 after being absent for a number of years and it's exciting times again in Tipperary." Galway manager Micheál Donoghue and his side will now have to regroup after exiting the championship. But he was pleased with how his team started the game and took a longer-term view after year one of his second spell in charge. Galway remain a work in progress, according to manager Micheál Donoghue — The Sunday Game (@TheSundayGame) June 21, 2025 "I thought in the first half, general play wasn't too bad. I thought we created a good few goal chances and to stay in the game against a top team, you probably have to take a few of those," he said. "I thought the start of the second half, (we) rallied well, got the goal but then Tipp showed the quality, getting two scores after that and maybe we'd a couple of wides after it. "We'll rue a lot of our turnovers and against a team with the quality of Tipp, you know they're going to punish you, but for us it's very much a building project. A lot of learnings from today as cruel as it is but we'll just regroup and go again."
