Dublin attack mayo in All Ireland Semi Final draw in Croke
Park Sun 30 Aug 2015
Dublin 2-12 Mayo 1-15
It was a bad-tempered match full of unsavoury of the ball incidents.
Dublin’s Diarmuid Connolly’s penalty after 5 minutes gave the Leinster champions a 1-7 to 0-7
interval advantage. This was for a foul
on Paul Flynn may have taken place just outside the large rectangle.
Dublin’s Michael Darragh MacAuley and Denis Bastick were
black cared in the second half.
Dublin got a lot of turnovers by Mayo over carrying and they curtailed Mayo’s forwards well
Mayo’s O'Connor converted a penalty after Colm Boyle was brought down. Moran then equalised following a rash Cluxton
restart and was the last score with none in 5 minutes of injury time.
Dublin’s Diarmuid Connolly was shown a red card at the end for
an incident involving Lee Keegan and was only one of many incidents. Not the
first time Connolly has been red carded in an All-Ireland semi-final but until
the St Vincent’s man curbs his aggressive behaviour it will continue to be a
problem.

Dublin footballer Diarmiud Connolly has been cleared. Sat 5 Dec 2015
ReplyDeleteDublin GAA tweeted: 'BREAKING NEWS: Diarmuid Connolly appeal to the DRA successful. He's clear to line out v @MayoGAA tomorrow #UpTheDubs'.
The DRA Panel was last night chaired by former Supreme Court judge Hugh O'Flaherty with solicitors David Nohilly and Brian Rennick.
A statement released on GAA.ie this morning states: "The Panel's decision related to lack of fair procedure afforded to Mr. Connolly at an early stage in the GAA's internal disciplinary process which unfairly hindered the preparations for, and presentation of, his defence. Mr Connolly was thus free to play in the replay of the above match on 5 September".
It didn’t happen!
