Saffrons rally comes too late as Dublin hold on

Dublin led 0-15 to 0-8 at half-time at Parnell Park and increased their advantage to 0-21 to 0-11 after 46 minutes

Antrim's rally came too late as they suffered another Division One defeat in the Allianz Hurling League as Dublin held on for a 0-28 to 2-19 win.

But Molloy's second goal started a late unanswered run of 1-4 which could have been even better for the Saffrons.

Dublin were seriously rattled late on but held on for a three-point win.

With Neil McManus having gone close to hitting two Antrim goals earlier in the second half, the Saffrons were left with a sense of what might have been even though they had looked decidedly second best for most of the contest.

Donal Burke's 10 points - including five from play - had helped the Dubs appear in total control before the energy seemed to drain from them in the closing minutes as Antrim suddenly started winning all the possession.
