St Vincent’s (Dublin) 0-11
St Loman’s (Mullingar) 0-9
THOMAS QUINN SHOT seven points to edge Dublin champions St Vincent’s over the winning line at the end of a marathon week.
The former Dublin star led the line superbly at Cusack Park in today’s AIB Leinster club quarter-final in the absence of two current Dublin players.
All-Ireland winner Diarmuid Connolly was suspended from Wednesday night’s county final replay while Ger Brennan saw red after just eight minutes.
Referee Damian Brazil showed Sam Maguire hero Brennan a straight red card for an off the ball incident that left Kelvin Reilly floored.

It left Vincent’s down to 14 for three quarters of the game, their third match in a week and their fourth in 13 days.
But they battled bravely to lead by 0-6 to 0-4 at half-time thanks to three converted frees by Quinn.
Westmeath ace John Heslin was the key Loman’s man and curled over two frees after the restart to level it up.
A point from Shane Dempsey then put the Westmeath champions ahead at 0-7 to 0-6.
They led again by 0-8 to 0-7 with 10 minutes remaining but were suckered by a strong Vincent’s finish.
Quinn converted two placed balls and then shot a beauty from the right wing to help them secure a two-point victory.
The results secures the 2007 Leinster champions and 2008 All-Ireland winners a semi-final clash with Meath’s Summerhill. But Tommy Conroy’s side will have to do it the hard way without two key players now.
