Cormac O’Gara, the Dunedin Connolly’s manager, made no excuses as his All-British champions from Edinburgh exited the AIB All-Ireland JFC at the semi-final stage this afternoon against Rock St Patrick’s from Tyrone.
Dunedin were defeated on a 1-18 to 2-6 scoreline at the Atheltic Grounds in Armagh and O’Gara – a native of Glencolmcille – felt the inside forwards of Rock, Aidan McGarrity and Conor McCreesh, were excellent for the Ulster champions.

At half-time, the Dunedin deficit was four points, following a goal late in the half from Francis Molloy, which gave O’Gara and his Scottish team some hope.
