All-Ireland Football Semi-Final

Vincent’s Victors Against Cross
St. Vincent beat Crossmaglen 2-9 to 0-11 in Sunday’s AIB All-Ireland Club semi-final at Navan played on 24 Feb 2008.
Brian Maloney’s second-minute goal and Tomas Quinn’s strike helped the Dublin outfit lead 2-8 to 0-4 at half-time.
Helped by the breeze, Cross cut the lead in the second half but they never really looked like getting on terms.
St Vincent’s set up a decider against Nemo Rangers with a degree of comfort despite scoring one second-half point.
Crossmaglen hit five points without reply in the final 20 minutes of the match but without a goal, they were never scoring points at a fast enough rate to get back on terms.
Various forms of football can be identified in history, often as popular peasant games. Contemporary codes of football can be traced back to the codification of these games at English public schools in the eighteenth and nineteenth century.’;
