Ryan’s 2-6 haul downs Crokes

Paul Ryan struck 2-6 as Ballyboden St Enda’s overcame county champions Kilmacud Crokes by 3-14 to 2-13 in their Dublin SHC quarter-final at O’Toole Park yesterday afternoon.

St Enda’s started sluggishly and were fortunate when taking the lead in the 17th minute as Matt Collins spilled a Conal Keaney point attempt into his own goal.

Ryan increased his side’s lead with a trademark goal from a 20-metre free 10 minutes later as Boden enjoyed a 2-5 to 0-5 interval lead.
