2014 LEINSTER SFC SEMI-FINAL

SUNDAY, JUNE 29: Croke Park

DUBLIN 2-25 WEXFORD 1-12

Cormac Costello may have only been introduced as a half-time sub but finished this Leinster SFC semi-final at the day's top scorer - hitting 1-5.

Dublin led 0-10 to 0-6 at half-time and Conor Carty's point on the restart for the Slaneysiders cut their deficit.

However, Costello then began to get Dublin moving with two points in quick succession before his well-taken goal in the 45th minute.

Daithí Waters got Wexford's goal in the 60th minute when finishing to the bottom right corner of Stephen Cluxton's net.

Three minutes from the end Paul Flynn unleashed a great finish to the Wexford net following good work by Costello and with subs Tomás Brady and Eoghan O’Gara both hitting two points Dublin ran out 16-point victors.

2012 LEINSTER SFC SEMI-FINAL

SUNDAY, JULY 1: Croke Park

DUBLIN 2-11 WEXFORD 1-10

Dublin booked their berth in the Leinster SFC final following this well-contested provincial semi-final at Croke Park.

Redmond Barry stunned the then All-Ireland champions with a ninth minute goal, and while Diarmuid Connolly goaled for the Dubs in the 22th minute it was the Slaneysiders who led 1-8 to 1-5 at half-time thanks to three Ben Brosnan points.

Dublin suffered the blow of Diarmuid Connolly's dismissal in the second half but Kevin McManamon's goal in the 52nd minute was to prove crucial with late scores from Kevin McManamon, Kevin Nolan and Bryan Cullen securing victory.

Kevin McManamon also played a key role in Dublin's first-half goal when he slipped the ball off to Diarmuid Connolly, who beat Anthony Masterson with a precise finish.

In the second-half points from Stephen Cluxton (free), Bernard Brogan (free) and Kevin Nolan brought Dublin level by the 45th minute.

The introduction of Michael Darragh Macauley gave Dublin a greater foothold around the middle sector.

But scores from Adrian Flynn and Shane Roche edged Wexford back in front before McManamon scored Dublin's second goal.

A Paul Flynn free found Bernard Brogan, who sent McManamon in on goal to blast to the roof of the net on 52 minutes for a one-point lead.

The Model County were left to rue kicking nine wides in the second half, and a relieved Dublin side was able to pick off the late scores that secured their passage to the provincial decider.

SCORERS - Dublin:K McManamon 1-3, D Connolly 1-1, B Cullen, K Nolan 0-2 each, A Brogan, B Brogan (0-1f), S Cluxton (0-1f) 0-1 each. Wexford: R Barry 1-1, B Brosnan 0-4, A Flynn, S Roche (0-2f) 0-2 each, PJ Banville 0-1.
