A replay will be required to separate St Patrick's and Rathnew after the Wicklow SFC final finished in a 1-10 to 0-13 draw at Joule Park in Aughrim.

Shane Murley scored a late equalising point for the Wicklow town outfit after an Eddie Doyle score looked to have won it for Rathnew. Thomas Kelly raised the game's only green flag for Pat's in the first half.

Cathal Freeman was the star as Tooreen overcame Ballyhaunis by 0-15 to 0-11 in the Mayo SHC final.

In the London SHC final at Ruislip, two first half goals from Shane Lawless paved the way for St Gabriel's 2-17 to 2-11 victory over Robert Emmetts.
