Kilmacud Crokes eased into the quarter-finals of the Dublin SFC when comfortably accounting for near neighbours Ballinteer St John’s, 1-23 to 0-6, at O’Toole Park on Saturday.

The tone was set from the outset as a lively Kilmacud attack punched holes through the St John’s rearguard at regular intervals and they raced into a 0-7 to 0-1 lead by the 12th minute following points from Tom Fox, Paul Mannion, Dara Mullin, and Hugh Kenny.
