Meanwhile, the Meath final will head to a replay after Kiltale and Kildalkey finished level at 1-13 apiece.

Clonoulty-Rossmore needed extra-time to overcome Noel McGrath’s Loughmore-Castleiney by 1-33 to 3-22 in a high-scoring Tipperary SHC preliminary quarter-final. Earlier in the date, Toomevara ran out 1-24 to 2-19 winners over Mullinahone at the same stage of the competition.

Birr sealed a return to the Offaly SHC final after a four-point win over Kilcormac/Killoughey, who’ve won four titles since 2012. Birr will take on St Rynagh’s in the final in a repeat of the 2016 pairing. Birr, who haven’t been crowned champions since 2008, led by two at the interval and ran out 0-20 to 0-16 winners.

Rathdowney/Errill and Borris/Kilcotton will clash for the Laois crown, also a repeat of the 2016 final. Ross King dispatched a late goal to give Rathdowney/Errill a late 1-15 to 0-17 win over Camross, who beat them in the 2018 decider. Borris/Kilcotton ran out 0-25 to 1-15 winners against Clough/Ballacolla.

In Kilkenny, James Stephens advanced to the last four of the SHC with a 0-19 to 0-15 defeat of Rower-Inistioge in the quarter-final. In the senior relegation final, Bennettsbridge retained their senior status for another year with a 1-23 to 1-16 win over St Patricks Ballyragget, consigning the latter to intermediate ranks.

Finally, St Anne’s prevailed in the Wexford SHC quarter-final, beating Shelmaliers by 2-11 to 0-15.
