Passage 0-26 Mount Sion 1-21
PASSAGE WILL PLAY Ballygunner in the Waterford SHC final following their two-point victory over Mount Sion in today’s semi-final.
Passage last lifted the title in 2013, while they suffered a heavy defeat to Ballygunner in the 2016 decider in what was their last trip to the final.
Stephen Roche grabbed an early goal for Mount Sion but seven unanswered scores, including four from Liam Flynn, helped Passage into a 0-15 to 1-5 interval lead.
Mikey Cummins, still in his debut campaign for Passage seniors, clipped over nine points for the victors.
Mount Sion were led by Austin Gleeson, who was in good scoring form in the second period, but Passage held firm to seal the victory.
Austin Gleeson with a sensational solo point one of the best I've ever seen in Walsh Park

Clare SHC
Cratloe were dumped out of the Clare SHC by Eire Og in a rearranged second round game, while O’Callaghans Mills had nine points to spare against Inagh-Kilnamona in the quarter-final.
Five minutes into the second-half Eire Og trailed Cratloe by five, but a Danny Russell goal helped spark them into life. They outscored Cratloe by 1-10 to 0-1 down the stretch to advance into the quarter-finals for the sixth time in seven years, where they’ll take on Feakle.
Colin Crehan and Jacob Loughnane grabbed the goals as O’Callaghans Mills enjoyed a 2-16 to 0-13 win to book their semi-final place.

Kick out one makes no sense. Anyone Who’s ever played the game has played when the wind is blowing a gail and you’re lucky to pass it forward 10 metres, let alone 25 metres. Can’t see it working across all year round. Also one thing that is drilled into every player from day 1 is to hand pass in a short space, what if on pass 4 you want to hand pass to someone running of your shoulder or a pop inside and you can’t as you have to kick it? Just won’t work.
@Declan Snow: after 3 passes if there is no good forward pass on you will have to turn back and kick pass backwards to keep possession is hardly going to encourage attacking play
Over complicating an essentially simple game…pointless…
All too complicated – just bring rules into to subvert mass defences and problems will be solved – minimum of 4 players in opposing half at all times
Sideline kick:
If I am an opposing team and I know the opposition can’t kick the ball backwards from a sideline kick then I am going to get all my players back behind the point of the sideline kick in a defensive position. Therefore this rule will have a negative impact on the game.
If the GAA want to sort out football, their main issue and one that nobody talks about is the tackle. A defending player one on one tackling a forward will 9 times out of 10 be judged to foul that forward with the current interpretation of the tackle. Teams are then forced to pull back extra players to shepherd the attacking player with the ball away from the goal as their is less chance of giving away a free by doing this.
Take should keep the handpass as long it is used going forward ,if used backwards have a hop ball
These rule changes aren’t ideal but it needs something. Its stink at present. Give them a try it can’t get much worse.
Best to have well painted 20m and 40m lines. In most pitches neither the referee nor the players will know where any lines are.
GAA handball…can they stop the decay of the game?
