Belmont's semi-final opponents will be Coolderry, who had already qualified for the last four along with Kilcormac/Killoughey as the top two finishers in the group phase.
In the other quarter-final in Birr on Saturday, Aidan Treacy was St. Rynagh's scorer-in-chief as they ovecame Shinrone on a 0-17 to 0-14 scoreline to earn a semi-final date with Kilcormac/Killoughey.
