Breaking down the Club SFC semi-finals' talking points.

The Derry side are smart enough to accept the terms and conditions attached to this rematch

Cushendall have the worst record in the history of the All-Ireland club championship at this stage of the competition; in ten All-Ireland semi-finals, Cushendall only won one, in 2016 against Sarsfields from Galway.

Ballygunner only had four more shots than Clonlara in the first half but their conversion rate was 70 percent in that half compared to Clonlara’s 56 percent.

Can Clonlara and Na Fianna upset the odds, Corofin and St Brigids have history, Kilmacud Crokes go for three in a row

It was another dramatic weekend of action around the country

They may have only played two last-four clashes but that is still irrelevant considering how hard Donegal teams have found it to even get there – never mind win them.

Mahony and Ballygunner were just more clinical all day – both on the scoreboard and in the tackle and turnover count.

If Ballina want to make a real statement in Connacht again, both for themselves and Mayo club football, they have the ideal opportunity to do so against Corofin in Pearse Stadium.

This was another serious reality check.
