Castleknock 0-11
\nSt Jude\u2019s 1-4<\/p>\n
Paul Keane reports from Parnell Park<\/em><\/p>\n CIARAN KILKENNY IS on the verge of making another piece of history after guiding Castleknock to a shock Dublin SFC final place.<\/p>\n Dublin\u2019s back-to-back All-Ireland medal winning half-forward pulled the strings from midfield on a famous night at Parnell Park that saw the west Dubliners book a maiden final spot.<\/p>\n Kilkenny won three crucial frees that were converted by Des Carlos during a second-half that Castleknock dominated.<\/p>\n Carlos finished with nine points in total and kicked two great points from play late in the game that copper fastened an impressive win.<\/p>\n Their reward for the breakthrough victory is a final date with powerhouse outfit St Vincent\u2019s on Saturday week back at the Donneycarney venue.<\/p>\n \n Castleknock’s Kevin Kindlon with Seamus Ryan of St Jude’s.<\/p>\n Source: Tommy Dickson\/INPHO<\/p>\n Jude\u2019s were big favourites to win here and Castleknock will fancy their chances of another upset against four-in-a-row finalists Vincent\u2019s.<\/p>\n They ground Jude\u2019s into submission with a possession based game that frustrated the Kevin McManamon led outfit.<\/p>\n McManamon finished with 1-1 and put Jude\u2019s 0-3 to 0-1 ahead after 10 minutes with a great point but they couldn\u2019t kick on.<\/p>\n The teams were tied at 0-3 apiece after a forgettable first-half notable for the amount of possession Castleknock enjoyed as they passed across the pitch, back and forth.<\/p>\n They lacked a vital cutting edge up front for spells and it looked as if Judes might make them pay when McManamon scored a trademark solo goal after 46 minutes to put the south Dublin outfit 1-4 to 0-6 ahead.<\/p>\n Remarkably, Jude\u2019s didn\u2019t score again and Castleknock finished with five points in a row, four of those from Carlos to progress in some style and keep their eye on the big prize.<\/p>\n Scorers for Castleknock: Des Carlos 0-9 (0-7f), Mikey Galvin, Ben Galvin 0-1 each.<\/p>\n Scorers for St Judes: Kevin McManamon 1-1, Kieran Doherty, Declan Donnelly, Niall Coakley (0-1f) 0-1 each.<\/p>\n Castleknock<\/p>\n 1.
