St Oliver Plunkett's eased past St Jude's in a disappointing Dublin senior semi-final at Parnell Park last Saturday afternoon.
Plunkett's led 0-5 to 0-3 at half-time, and they dominated affairs after the break with Niall Walsh and Craig Dunleavy pointing to increase their side's lead. St Jude's managed just a solitary Ronan Joyce point in the second-half.
The contest was settled entering injury time as Alan Brogan's superb pass allowed Bernard Brogan to turn Paul Cunningham before he fired an unerring finish past John Brian Carthy.
