Curry set up Tourlestrane semi

Defending champions Curry have been paired with their south Sligo rivals Tourlestrane in a potentially epic Sligo SFC semi-final — a repeat of last year’s last four encounter — with surprise packet St Molaise Gaels to face Tubbercurry, the championship record holders, in the other semi-final.

The last four draw capped a thrilling quarter-final weekend as title favourites Tourlestrane lived on the edge yesterday when surviving a Coolera-Strandhill comeback to win 1-11 to 1-9 at Tubbercurry.

Champions Curry, who welcomed back a trio of last year’s title-winners, saw one of these stars, Ciaran Brennan, score five points in the convincing 1-15 to 1-5 defeat of Geevagh at Bunnanadden on Saturday.
