’Tubber still on course for title

The 19-year-old landed 0-7 as the holders overcame Shrule/Glencorrib by 0-13 to 1-7 in an entertaining quarter-final at MacHale Park, Castlebar. Ballintubber started well, and five points from the aforementioned O’Connor provided the backbone to their 0-7 to 0-2 lead at the change of ends.

Anthony McGarry’s side had pulled eight points clear after 49 minutes. However, Conor Mortimer, who ended the match with six points, inspired a late rally from Shrule/Glencorrib which also included a late goal flicked to the net by Eoin Ronaldson.
