Dublin too strong for Offaly as they ease through to another provincial final
Dessie Farrell’s side were never in trouble at Croke Park.
Dublin 3-22
Offaly 0-11
DUBLIN WENT THROUGH the motions yet again at Croke Park, hammering Offaly this time to secure their return to the provincial final.
Chasing a 14th consecutive Leinster success, Dessie Farrell’s side were never in trouble and had victory virtually wrapped up at half-time when they led by nine points.
They went on to win by 20, precisely what the bookmakers had predicted, with goals from leading scorer Colm Basquel, who hit 1-3, Con O’Callaghan and Niall Scully.
Dublin will face Louth in the 12 May final in a repeat of last year’s decider.
