In Kerry, Dr Crokes made it a hat-trick of titles with a comfortable 2-13 to 0-08 win over Dingle.

In Westmeath, Mullingar Shamrocks edged out Garrycastle by a point on a 0-12 to 1-08 scoreline. The winners showed great resolve to outscore their opponents 0-05 to 0-01 in the final quarter.

In Meath, an early Shane Gillespie goal was the platform for Navan O'Mahony's to see off Wolf Tones by seven points 1-11 to 0-07.

St Brigid's of Roscommon ran out 2-19 to 0-10 winners in the end against Melvin Gaels of Leitrim in the Connacht Club championship. They will now meet Salthill of Galway in the semi-final.
