The Cork SFC semi-final line-up was completed after Clonakilty and Castlehaven prevailed in yesterday's quarter-final double-header at Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

Clon' will face Douglas after staging a magnificent comeback to edge out Duhallow by 0-13 to 1-9. A run of seven unanswered points culminated in Sean White scoring the winner for Clon' who were inspired by Kerry native Dara Ó Sé and Joe Grimes. A first half goal from Conor O'Callaghan and five points from former Cork All-Ireland winner Donnacha O'Connor had Duhallow 1-9 to 0-6 up before the West Cork outfit finished with a flourish.

In the other quarter-final, Mark Collins' first half goal proved crucial in Castlehaven's 1-14 to 0-10 victory over Valley Rovers. The winners led by 1-6 to 0-4 at half-time before their Innishannon opponents closed the gap to the minimum after the restart.

But with Brian Hurley and Colm O'Driscoll scoring 0-9 between them, 'Haven advanced to a last-four date with St Finbarr's.
