Kilmacud Crokes looked set to complete a remarkable double for the club when they led Crumlin by two points going into injury time at Parnell Park yesterday in the semi-final of the Dublin SHC. But the Stillorgan side, whose footballers play Na Fianna in next Saturday's SF final, were rocked by a Shane Martin goal for Crumlin which left them trailing by a point. However, Kilmacud had one final rally and Niall Butler showed admirable compusure to point a 30metre free and force a replay on Saturday week.
