St Vincent’s secured their place in the quarter-finals of the Dublin Senior ‘A’ Hurling Championship when defeating Ballinteer St John’s by 1-25 to 0-15 in their Group 1 clash at Marley Park this evening.

Both sides struggled for fluency in a cagey first-half as the hosts proved too reliant on the free-taking of Seamus Fenton for scores.
