DUBLIN SFC1 GROUP 2

CLONTARF 1-17 LUCAN SARSFIELDS 1-10

Kevin Lillis was Clontarf's top scorer as his tally of 1-6 lead his side to victory in Saturday's Dublin SFC1 Group 2 tie at O'Toole Park.

The victory, and margin of it, saw Clontarf jump to second in the group and they will now face reigning champions Kilmacud Crokes in the quarter-final.

Lillis struck 1-6 (1-0 pen, 0-2f) for the winners with his penalty coming in the 12th minute following a foul on Brian Berney.

With Andy Foley giving 'Tarf a great platform at midfield they propsered and led by 1-7 to 0-4 at the break.

Clontarf restarted much the better with points from Berney, Foley, Lillis and Dublin U20 panelist of this year, Kieran McKeown, all striking points.

Lucan got a goal through Brian Collopy but overall relied too heavily on Brendan Gallagher as their scorer-in-chief from deadball.

SCORERS – Clontarf: K Lillis 1-6 (1-0 pen, 0-2f), B Berney 0-5 (0-2f), A Foley 0-3, K McKeown 0-2, J McCaffrey 0-1. Lucan Sarsfields: B Gallagher 0-6 (0-5f), B Collopy 1-1 (0-1 ‘45’), CJ Smith, E Ó Conghaile, M Lavin 0-1 each.
