GAELIC GAMES: St Vincent's 2-9 Ballyboden St Enda's 0-13:ST VINCENT'S booked their place in the last four of the Dublin SFC club championship after a superb final 10 minutes saw them eliminate reigning champions Ballyboden St Enda's.

St Enda’s led by two entering the closing stages, and with Conal Keaney in superb form, looked to be taking control of the game.

However, Keaney’s fellow county player Tomás Quinn took full advantage of an unfortunate slip by Conor Dolan to round keeper Dara Walsh and finish to an empty net.

Ruairi Traynor added a point immediately afterwards for the winners to further their advantage. Keaney responded with a point, but it was to prove only a consolation. St Vincent’s can now look forward to a semi-final date with Kilmacud Crokes.
