Classy Dubs stroll into semis

Carlow’s Daryl Roberts opened the scoring with a point from play on two minutes as Dublin, playing with the aid of the wind, dominated but struck seven wides before midfielder Barry Mulligan levelled matters on 13 minutes.

With the score on 0-3 apiece on 19 minutes a long free from Dublin full forward Seán McGrath was dropped by a Carlow player only for Dublin intercounty player Liam Rushe to net the Dubs first goal. At half-time Dublin led 1-6 to 0-4, with 14 wides recorded.
