GAA club round-up: Cooper off and Mannion injured but Na Fianna and Crokes edge through, Shinrone stun Belmont with late brace
FOOTBALL
In a Dublin SFC quarter-final double-bill at Parnell Park, Na Fianna and defending champions Kilmacud Crokes advanced to the semi-finals of the Dublin senior football championship.
Johnny Cooper saw red for the Glasnevin-based side in conceding a second-half penalty, and while Dublin team-mate and Whitehall Colmcille dangerman Cormac Costello drilled his effort neatly into the corner of the net to draw the sides level, it was Na Fianna that responded better to the numerical disadvantage.
Whitehall claimed the final two points of the contest, but it was Na Fianna who marched on, 1-12 to 1-11.
Jonny Cooper is sent off for a second bookable offence and Cormac Costello slots home the resulting penalty. All to play for at Parnell Park
