This goal had everything.
Movement: Check.
Pace: Obviously.
Skill: Cruelly.
Finishing: Ruthless.
This goal had everything you’d expect from a Paul Mannion goal.
Kilmacud Crokes edged out Castleknock in a nail-biting quarter-final clash that finished with just the minimum between them.
2-8 to 1-10 was the score and Paul Mannion’s simply unprecedented individual goal proved crucial in the end.
The Dublin star, who was so impressive in the second half against Mayo, lit up Parnell Park with an audacious run, a crazy bit of skill and a thumping finish in off the crossbar.
The lightning attacker picked up possession a good 50 metres out near the sideline and he burned his marker for pace before beating another challenge and breaking through one more so he could burst the net in the most emphatic fashion.

Crokes join St. Vincent’s in the semi-final with the champions themselves guided there with a breathtaking display of passing from Diarmuid Connolly.
Just another night in the Dublin championship.
