Dublin this evening extended their unbeaten run against Mayo to 16 games.

Long after the final whistle and Donegal boss, Declan Bonner, was trying to process how his side were caught on the line in Saturday night's Allianz League opener in Ballybofey.

AIB All-Ireland Club SFC semi-final

Palatine (Carlow) 0-8 St Vincent’s (Dublin) 0-16: Palatine co-manager Mick Lillis claimed Diarmuid Connolly is an easy target after the St Vincent’s captain was black-carded in the first half of this Leinster club SFC quarter-final in Carlow yesterday.

Corofin produced an hour of scintillating football to put an end to St Vincent’s reign as AIB All-Ireland senior club football champions.

St Vincent’s (Dublin) 1-13 Rhode (Offaly) 0-06

AIB Leinster Club SFC final

It is a measure of the standards set by St Vincent’s that Tomas Quinn pronounced himself entirely ‘disappointed’ with their AIB Leinster club semi-final win.

St Vincent’s 3-11 Portlaoise 0-10

Portlaoise’s Leinster record these last four years illustrates the jump Dublin teams have had on them. Four different teams from the capital, a defeat each time.

St Vincents (Dublin) 4-12 Castlebar Mitchels (Mayo) 2-11

St Vincent’s manager Tommy Conroy expects to have captain Ger Brennan leading the team out in Croke Park on St Patrick’s Day.

St Vincent’s of Dublin will play Mayo kingpins Castlebar Mitchels in the AIB GAA All-Ireland club SFC final at Croke Park on St Patrick’s Day, after the two teams emerged from a pair of titanic and hugely entertaining tussles in today’s semi-finals.

Truagh Gaels 2-21 Kiltane 2-13

Tomás Quinn praised his St Vincent’s team for avoiding the pitfall of relying on their returning county players Diarmuid Connolly and Ger Brennan.

ST LOMAN’S 0-9 ST VINCENT’S 0-11

Reigning AIB Ulster Club SFC Champions Crossmaglen Rangers bowed out following a replay defeat to Kilcoo today.

Ballymun Kickhams 0-20 St Vincent’s 1-17 (aet)

Mayo 2-13 Tyrone 1-13

Mayo 3-19 Monaghan 1-12

Mayo 3-19 Monaghan 1-12

Family, friends, and sporting stars of past and present turned out for the removal of Gaelic football legend Kevin Heffernan in Dublin last night.

WITH the roar that greeted Barney Rock’s equaliser ringing around Jones Road, Cork’s John Cleary recalls the scene.

Laois boss Sean Dempsey has become the latest casualty in senior inter-county football management, following his failure to be reappointed for a third year.

IN 1983 he was a winner himself with Portlaoise, when they defeated Clan na Gael, Roscommon in the All-Ireland club football final.

JOE Kernan believes Portlaoise can win their second AIB All-Ireland club football title on St. Patrick’s Day.

ONE Portlaoise supporter started the trend of invading the pitch before throw-in, armed with the cockerel that was made famous down in O’Moore Park last month.

PORTLAOISE are not about to rest on the laurels of winning a Leinster club football title, according to returned star Martin Delaney.

Portlaoise (Laois) 1-11 Skryne (Meath) 2-4

PORTLAOISE are resigned to playing their AIB Leinster club SFC final against Meath champions Skryne without Ian Fitzgerald.

WHATEVER was expected of the Dublin champions in yesterday’s AIB Leinster Club football championship Carlow, a six points defeat at the hands of Portlaoise would hardly have been anticipated.

HARD to make a case for anything bar the game in Semple being top of the bill in GAA terms this weekend.
