Elsewhere, the Kerry county football championship quarter-final line-up has been confirmed. Champions East Kerry face St Kieran’s in the last eight, while Dr Crokes have been pitted against Rathmore. Templenoe and Dingle, and St Brendan’s Board and Kenmare Shamrocks, face off in the other games.
Today’s Cork senior football quarter-finals between Nemo Rangers and Clonakilty, and Mallow and Muskerry, have been rescheduled for next weekend after their postponement due to the weather warning. Last year’s Munster champions Castlehaven and St Finbarr’s lie in wait in the semi-finals.
There were senior county championship titles handed out in ladies club football across the country this afternoon.
Long-time runners-up Emyvale finally lifted the Monaghan crown after a comprehensive win over Magheracloone. Magheracloone dethroned 22 in-a-row chasing Donaghmoyne in the semi-final, but Emyvale now reign supreme after losing the lion’s share of those finals.
