Loughmore-Castleiney and Nenagh secure spots

Loughmore-Castleiney finished 0-21 to 2-11 victors over Roscrea at Templemore, but both Roscrea goals came in the last five minutes — from Jason Fitzpatrick and a Tommy Fitzgerald free — when the game was well out of their reach.

Loughmore asserted their authority from the start and ought to have been more than 0-11 to 0-5 clear at the break. Three good goal chances went abegging but with Noel McGrath calling the shots and John Meagher a tower of strength at the heart of their defence, they looked the part.
