Dublin 1-15 Kilkenny 0-02

Parnells GAA, Coolock

The small crowd in Parnells who braved the cold conditions this afternoon were warmed by a magnificent performance by Dublin in Round 3 of this year’s All Ireland Championship. Sinead Wylde, along with Laura Quinn and the free taking of Aoife Mahon, helped Dublin blitz a Kilkenny side who, despite their efforts, couldn’t get going against the dominant opposition.

Against the wind, Dublin soaked up every initial attack from Kilkenny forcing some of their early chances wide. Joint Captain Sinead Wylde, who literally led from the front for the entire game, opened Dublin’s scoring in the third minute with a brilliant solo break to send the ball over the bar from an angle.

Aoife Mahon converted the first two of her 0-05 in the early going, despite the strong wind in her face, which had seen a lot of Dublin’s first half attempts drop short. But their back line today were counteracting any attempt by Kilkenny to get on the score board.

 

Sinead Wylde get her second from play in the 18th before Laura Quinn, who was dangerous throughout, took a drop ball and headed for the Kilkenny goal, finding a space between Kilkenny’s Alannah Gallagher and Kate Dempsey, but Gallagher brought Quinn down in the square with the referee awarding the penalty.

With Dublin comfortably in the driving seat. Aoife Mahon stepped up and chose to knock the penalty over the bar to put Dublin 0-05 ahead.

Alix Buckley added another for Dublin as Kilkenny were finding it increasingly difficult to pin back the Dublin forwards Buckley, Jessica McClelland and Quinn. And it was Quinn who would again find herself on the end of a high ball, faced by a wall of Kilkenny players, she literally charged forward, forcing the ball through them and into the net to get Dublin’s goal.

Aoife Doyle got Kilkenny’s only score of the half, meaning they would be playing against the wind in the second half with a mountain to climb.

 

 

The second half saw Dublin do with the wind what Kilkenny couldn’t do in the first half, despite a much improved Kilkenny effort.

Laura Quinn relentlessly continued pressing forward, opening the Dubs second half account, quickly followed by another dead ball conversion from Mahon. Niamh Gannon scored a huge point, and Sinead Wylde, after seeing her first two attempts of the half veer wide, added another.

There were some missed goal chances but they can be easily overshadowed by Dublin’s skill and strength throughout the park. Jessica McClelland imposed her speed and power scoring 0-02, with Danielle Morrissey scoring Kilkenny’s second and last score in between. Substitute Hollyn Kennedy sent a score over just minutes after joining the action, and with Sinead Wylde appropriately ending the game with the final point, it leaves Dublin with 6 points from 9 and in a comfortable position in the group going into their last game against Galway.
