Half time in both the:

Danesfort 1-10 v Commercials 0-04, and

Barrow Rangers 0-12 v Davidstown Courtnacuddy 1-07

Flicking between both games so can’t offer any decent analysis.

Danesfort started well and look too good for Commercials all over the field really, especially in the physical stakes. Again, the half back line have been excellent, especially Des Dunne who has knocked over a few points along with a couple of blocks/hooks. Young Mahoney in corner forward has been dangerous and scored an excellent goal off the hurl after turning his man. O Dulaing (spelling?) the only man for Commercials who has looked dangerous, finding pockets of space. Richie on the bench for Danesfort toast, hopefully the great man makes an appearance

Barrow Rangers got off to a slow start and looked in a bit of trouble against DCC. But they’ve worked themselves back into the game well. O Neill centre back has really come into the game from what I’ve seen. It’s a good match and what you’d expect from this time of the year. Bit raw at times, handling errors but full of intensity. Jack Kelly a big loss for BR today, but talk he might be back for a Leinster final if they make it, so here’s hoping

Danesfort 1-19 v Commercials 0-09

Didn’t see any of the second half really, watched the first few minutes only. Seemed to be going the same way as the first, with Danesfort looking comfortable. Their defence looked totally dominant from what I saw, which gave their forwards a great platform to work from. They put up a decent score, but I think they’ll be disappointed they didn’t put up even more. Close to 20 wides I think. Didn’t see Richie come on but may have missed it

Barrow Rangers 0-15 v Davidstown Courtnacuddy 2-15

Didn’t see the goals in the game, but DCC looked very impressive from what I saw. As I mentioned, Jack Kelly was missing and McDonald in corner forward had an injury in the warm up I think. He came on with a few minutes to go, but didn’t get any ball really. O Hanlon rattled the bar with 10 minutes to go, which could’ve changed things. Flavin getting sent off soon after didn’t help. Didn’t see his first yellow but his second was a silly late pull. DCC held the BR forward well, and scores some nice points on the counter.

Disappointing to see BR out, but Danesfort look good to take Leinster. They play Ratoath from Meath in the final who beat Lusmagh from Offaly 0-22 to 1-12 today. Danesfort look very impressive and still have more in the tank. They’ll be on a mission after their last time in Leinster which was disappointing
