AND THEN THERE were six.
After another weekend of club drama, we now know the last men standing in the AIB All-Ireland club hurling championship.
In Leinster, Oulart-the Ballagh got revenge for last year’s disappointment by beating defending provincial champions Kilcormac-Killoughey.
They now play Mount Leinster Rangers who made history when they beat Dublin heavyweights Ballyboden St Enda’s and became the first Carlow club to make it to the provincial decider.
In Munster, Clare champions Sixmilebridge booked their place in the final against Na Piarsaigh of Limerick.
And though they won’t be back in action for a while yet, Connacht champions Portumna and 2013′s beaten semi-finalists Loughgiel Shamrocks will have a large part to play between now and St Patrick’s Day.
Who will win the AIB All-Ireland club hurling championship?
