BALLYMUN KICKHAMS 3-17 FINGAL RAVENS 0-5

Champions of 2012, Ballymun Kickhams, overwhelmed Fingal Ravens in Saturday evening's Dublin SFC second round clash at Parnell Park.

Paul Curran's men blitzed their opponents in the opening half to lead by a massive 17 points at the interval, 2-12 to 0-1.

Their first half goals came from the impressive Ted Furman and David McGivney as the Mun with Jason Whelan to the fore had little difficulty carving open the Fingal Ravens defence.

In the second half a Dean Rock penalty added further to Ravens' woes as Ballymun progress to face St Oliver Plunkett's ER in the 1/4 finals.
