The semi-finalists are now known in the Down senior, intermediate and junior championships which will be played off in the coming weeks.

In senior: Liatroim Fontenoys who defeated Loughinisland on Tuesday night last in the quarter-final clash at Castlewellan by 1-11 to 1-7 play a fancied Maypbridge side managed by former Down and Ulster star, Mickey Linden who is currently filling the role of player-manager of the side with a great degree of success. In the second SFC semi-final Annaclone meet An Riocht.

In the I.F.C. semi-finals the pairings are as follows – Kilclief v Drumgath and Tullyish play Atticall.

There should be some interesting fare in the JFC semi-finals where St. Joihn’s v Drumaness while in the second semi-final, Aghaderg or St. Paul’s play St. Michael’s.
