Diarmuid Connolly made his long-awaited return to club duty on Sunday afternoon at Parnell Park, where defending champions St Vincent’s advanced to the Dublin SFC semi-final with a comprehensive 1-21 to 1-9 win over Castleknock. In the day’s curtain-raiser, a late scoring blitz helped Kilmacud Crokes to eventually see off the spirited challenge of St Sylvester’s. Meanwhile, Kieran Doherty’s stoppage-time point helped St Jude’s to secure a surprise 2-9 to 1-11 victory over Ballymun Kickhams at the same venue on Saturday. However, after Doherty supplemented earlier goals from Niall Coakley and Chris Guckian, the Templeogue outfit booked a semi-final date with Vincent’s. Ballyboden St Enda’s comfortably overcame Na Fianna in the day’s earlier clash on a scoreline of 3-13 to 0-15.
