Kilmacud Crokes had minimal fuss as they booked their place in the last four of the Dublin senior football championship by trouncing Lucan Sarsfields with a 1-21 to 0-5 victory at Parnell Park this afternoon.

The 2023 champions made a brilliant start to this quarter-final clash and never looked back, with Shane Walsh’s superb long-distance shooting helping them to open up a 0-9 to 0-1 lead.

Crokes would go on to hold a 0-13 to 0-3 advantage at the half and the second-half would see Galway star Walsh netting the game’s only goal as they won out by 19 points in the end.

The day’s other SFC quarter-final in the capital saw All-Ireland champions Cuala 4-20 to 0-12 winners over Clontarf at Parnell Park (throw 5.30pm), with two more down for decision tomorrow afternoon.

Meanwhile, Templeogue Synge Street preserved their Senior 1 football championship status thanks to a 1-17 to 0-16 win over St Vincent’s at O’Toole Park this afternoon.

A late goal put a seal on the victory for Templeogue as they sent 29-time champions St Vincent’s down to the Senior 2 championship for 2026.
