Thinking about the recent thread showing Johnny Doyle had scored over 200 points in Championship (probably getting close to 250 now).

There are no shortage of stats for soccer etc ( used to have a copy of Rothmans annual myself years ago) but there are no real good sources of GAA stats. Although I remember Jerome Quinn having a good book out years ago about Ulster football.

How many current players would have over 200 points in Championship football?

Stevie McDonnell
Paddy Bradley
Colm Cooper
Johnny Doyle
Pauric Joyce
Conor Mortimer
Stephen O'Neill
Benny Coulter?

Minor footballers advance to Leinster semi
15 May 2011 | hill16.ie

DUBLIN 0-10 LONGFORD 0-5

Dublin's minor footballers progress to a Leinster MFC semi-final meeting with Kildare at the end of June following this hard-fought quarter-final victory at Pearse Park, Longford on Saturday evening.

Home advantage in the provincial semi-final (Wednesday, June 29) is Dublin's reward for a battling victory over last year's provincial champions played in difficult blustery conditions which to some degree turned the game into a tactical battle.

The Dubs played into the wind in the opening half and despite plenty of possession could not open up the Longford defence with Gavin Ivory's superbly converted '45' in the 20th minute the score of the half from a Dublin perspective as the sides entered the break on level terms, 0-3 each after the Dublin defence, where Graham Hannigan and Robert McDaid were particularly strong, worked hard to curtail the Longford threat.

The second half was a different story with Dublin dominating around the centre sector both in terms of clean possession and breaking ball. However, it was not until the final ten minutes that they looked like putting any safe distance between the sides.

Ivory almost goaled in the 41st minute but was denied by an excellent save by Gareth Higgins but Ciaran Kilkenny was on hand to claim a point. This came three minutes after Emmet O Conghaile blazed over the crossbar from close range.

With ten minutes remaining their was just the minimum between the sides, 0-5 to 0-4, but five unanswered points saw Dublin safely into the provincial last four.

The impressive Ivory kicked two from play before drawing his second good safe from Higgins - this time from close range - before slotting his second '45' of the night, before sub Cormac Costello made a telling impact when striking a fine point from 35 metres. As the game ticked into injury-time Kilkenny kicked his third point of the tie.
 
SCORERS - Dublin: G Ivory 0-5 (0-2 '45'), C Kilkenny 0-3 (0-1f), E O Conghaile, C Costello 0-1 each. Longford: R Smyth 0-3 (0-2f), B McKeon, J McGivney 0-1 each.

ST VINCENT'S 2-13 ST BRIGID'S 0-15

A victory for St Vincent's in Thursday night's Evening Herald Dublin SHC 'A' Group 1 encounter at Russell Park but one that came at a cost as Dublin senior Ruairí Trainor was taken off with a suspected dislocated ankle.
As Dublin's injury woes grow ahead of their Leinster SHC clash with Offaly on May 29 it was a blow both the Vinnies and the Dubs could have done without.

SCORERS - St Vincent's: T Connolly 0-6 (0-5f), T McGrane 1-1, C McBride 0-3, K Connolly 1-0, D Connolly 0-2, M Chalke 0-1. St Brigid's: D Plunkett 0-7 (0-6f), A McEnerney 0-3 (0-3f), A Nolan (0-1 pen), M Cussen, J Winters, C Morris, K Fox 0-1 each.

Supersub Sweeney snatches late winner for Crokes
12 May 2011 | hill16.ie

KILMACUD CROKES 0-14 FAUGHS 1-10

Jude Sweeney was the supersub for Kilmacud Crokes as his injury-time points gave them victory in this Evening Herald Dublin SHC 'A' Group 1 round-robin clash at Tymon North on Thursday night.

Crokes did it the hard way as they came with a scoring flurry in the concluding 15 minutes to dramatically snatch victory.

The Stillorgan side trailed by six points entering the last quarter but seven unanswered points culminating with Sweeney's injury-time saw them capture both league points.

The hosts were the economical in the opening half with the freekaking of Mikey Ryan helping them to a 0-6 to 0-4 interval lead.

Ciarán Brennan's second half goal looked to have done enough for Faughs until Crokes, with Dublin footballer Rory O'Carroll immense at centre-back, came with that winning scoring blitz.


SCORERS – Kilmacud Crokes: S McGrath 0-5 (0-4f), K O'Loughlin 0-4 (0-3f), J Burke, J Doughan, R O'Dwyer, B O'Rorke, J Sweeney 0-1 each. Faughs: M Ryan 0-9 (0-9f), C Brennan 1-0; J Kelly 0-1.
