Joyce’s seven points crucial

Killererin 0-12 Micheál Breathnach’s 0-10

The 2010 champions needed a replay to get past Micheál Breathnach’s, and it looked as if extra-time would be needed to separate the sides after they were deadlocked heading into added time. However, Michael Boyle and Pádraig Joyce kicked a point each in the closing stages to send Killererin into the last four.

The sides were level at 0-5 each at half-time, Killererin finishing the opening period well with points from Shane Hughes and Damien Flaherty to pull level with the Gaeltacht men at the break.
