In Munster a senior football semi-final spot was booked by Clare’s Éire Óg Ennis as they set up a last four clash with Kerry’s Kerins O’Rahillys.
A dominant second-half display saw Éire Óg storm past Waterford’s The Nire by 3-11 to 0-5. The teams were tied 0-2 apiece at half-time but then Éire Óg took over with goals from Gavin Cooney, Mark McInerney and Cooney again in the third quarter.
That left them in front 3-7 to 0-3 entering the last quarter and the winners ended up with 15 points to spare in Cusack Park.
Éire Óg will be bidding to reach the provincial decider for the first time in the club’s history when they take on the Strand Road club at a Kerry venue on Sunday 27 November.
