14 mins — Kilmacud Crokes 0-4 St Jude’s 0-0: All too easy for Crokes. They pounce on a poor kickout from Jude’s keeper Liam Mailey, pop it off to Mannion, and he converts an easy chance for his third score from play.

13 mins – Two Crokes wides in quick succession, first from Shane Horan and then from Pat Burke. Jude’s aren’t seeing much ball in the opposition half at the moment.

11 mins — Kilmacud Crokes 0-3 St Jude’s 0-0: Space opens up for Shane Cunningham and he adds another score to extend Crokes’ lead. After a nip-and-tuck start from both sides, it’s clearly Crokes who have settled the best now.

9 mins — Kilmacud Crokes 0-2 St Jude’s 0-0: Majestic from Paul Mannion! There wasn’t much of a shot on for him, with Cillian O’Reilly hot on his heels and forcing him away from goal towards the touchline on the stand side, but Mannion took two quick steps to make an angle and then curled over a score from a very tricky angle. Beautiful.

8 mins – Half-chance for Crokes’ Callum Pearson but he doesn’t catch his shot cleanly and it bobbles well wide of the Jude’s goal without troubling goalkeeper Liam Mailey.

7 mins – Kevin McManamon goes up against Andrew McGowan and tries to power his way past the Crokes full-back and down the line, but he’s whistled for a foul. There didn’t look to be a huge amount in that.

5 mins — Kilmacud Crokes 0-1 St Jude’s 0-0: Crokes move the ball a bit quicker down the right side and this time, it ends in a point. Paul Mannion drifts a yard or two off his marker Ciaran Fitzpatrick and snaps the opening score over the bar.

3 mins – Again, Crokes dictate the play inside Jude’s territory but the Templeogue men have plenty of men behind the ball and it’s hard for Crokes to find a way through. Shane Horan takes it on himself to make something happen but scuffs his shot wide.
15 mins ago
1 min – Patient build-up by Crokes but when Craig Dias tries to break through the line, he spills the ball forward and is beaten to it Mark Sweeney. He catches Sweeney high – right in front of the referee – but it’s a Jude’s free and nothing more.

For their part, Kilmacud started the bank holiday weekend with dreams of a cross-code double. But the drama of last week’s hurling decider was followed by heartbreak against Ballyboden in yesterday’s replay, and so all eyes are on Paul Mannion and the footballers to make Parnell Park a happy hunting ground once again.

There’s no doubt who has taken the bigger scalps en route to this evening’s decider. Jude’s pulled off a late, late heist against Ballymun Kickhams in the quarter-finals, coming from three points down with three minutes to play to eke out a one-point win.
And then in the semis, they put holders St Vincent’s to the sword, blowing the Marino men away by nine points to cement their own claims as serious title contenders.

When St Jude’s GAA club was set up in Tempelogue 40 years ago, they could hardly have dared to dream that one day they would be crowned the football kings of Dublin.
After missing out to Ballyboden St Enda’s in 2009, today Jude’s have their shot at history again as they take on a Kilmacud Crokes side who have enjoyed plenty of glory days of their own, but would desperately love another county title to bridge the gap to their most recent success back in 2010.
Throw-in has been put back by 15 minutes so we’ll be underway in Parnell Park at 5.15pm.
