Jude’s and Ballyboden advance

St Jude’s and Ballyboden St Enda’s progressed to the Dublin SHC semi-finals after overcoming Faughs and Cuala, respectively, at O’Toole Park yesterday.

The first fixture was a disappointing affair as St Jude’s proved far too strong for their near neighbours Faughs, prevailing 0-21 to 0-7.

Faughs were on the back foot when Pat Robinson was sent off after 12 minutes and St Jude’s took complete control through scores from Danny Sutcliffe, Neal Mangan and Fionn Ó Riain Broin as they enjoyed a 0-11 to 0-3 interval lead.
