Dubs run riot against depleted Faithful

Dublin 3-13 Offaly 0-7

Early goals from Tomás Quinn, Kevin McManamon and Diarmuid Connolly on Saturday sealed Dublin’s first ever Shield final place. They’ll play the winners of tomorrow night’s second semi-final between old foes Meath and Laois.

If Meath progress then Sunday’s Parnell Park clash will offer Dublin the chance of revenge for last summer’s five goal Leinster championship mauling. But boss Gilroy insisted it’ll just be another warm up tie for the Allianz league, whoever the opposition.
