Reigning Leinster Senior Club Champions, Kilmacud Crokes, are safely through to the provincial semi-finals after Saturday’s victory over Offaly’s Naomh Ciarán. On Sunday, Eadestown and Tinahely joined the Dublin champions in the final four, with the final fixture between Longford Slashers and St. Lomans falling foul of Storm Ashley.

In Dunshaughlin, a last minute goal from substitute Kate Murphy ensured the Kildare champions a place in the final four. Winning the toss, Eadestown played with the wind in the first half and built up a 0-7 to no score lead before Royal Gaels hit 1-2 to get themselves back into contention. At half time, Eadestown led 0-8 to 1-02. In the second half, Royal Gaels once again hit the net, while Niamh O’Sullivan chipped in with some terrific scores. Eadestown kept them under pressure. Grainne Kenneally, Ruth Sargeant and Grace Clifford were to the forefront for the winners who play Tinahely in the semi-final next Sunday.
