Ulster champions Crossmaglen Rangers and Kilcoo will meet again next Sunday in Armagh's Athletic Grounds after a 1-12 to 2-9 draw after extra-time this afternoon.
Kilcoo led by 1-3 to 0-3 at half-time thanks to a Ryan Johnston goal, and the Down champions held a four-point lead with five minutes of normal time remaining.
However, Stephen Kernan netted a late goal for Crossmaglen, while a Martin Aherne point tied the game at 1-7 apiece to force extra-time.
Midfielder Paul Greenan fisted Kilcoo's second goal in injury-time, but fluffed his chance for a second goal as a brace of long range frees from half-back Darragh O'Hanlon ensured a replay.
Ryan Bell was Ballinderry Shamrock's hero as the Derry side claimed a 1-8 to 0-10 win over Scotstown in Clones.
Scotstown led by 0-5 to 0-4 at half-time, and pushed four points clear, but a 50th minute goal from Darren Conway brought Shamrocks back in front.
Scotstown regained the lead, but late points from James Turley and Bell pushed Ballinderry through to a last-four encounter.
Michael Murphy impressed throughout as Glenswilly booked a semi-final berth, thanks to a 1-10 to 0-10 win over St Galls at Pairc Sean Mac Cumhaill.
Murphy bagged the only goal in the opening half, in a game where Galls fightback just wasn't enough.
A late penalty goal was crucial as Fermanagh champions Roslea advanced to a semi-final date with Glenswilly, following a 1-12 to 0-11 win over Cavan side Ballinagh.
Munster champions Dr Crokes overcame their first hurdle in Munster as they advanced with relative easy thanks to a 1-11 to 0-8 win over Cork champions Castlehaven at Fitzgerald Stadium.

Slashers led by 3-6 to 0-5 at half-time, with Trevor Clendenning and Mark and Colin Smith netting their goals.
Slashers outscored their opponents on the restart as they held out for a 12-point win and another Leinster tie at Pearse Park, when Portlaoise are visitors next weekend.
Westmeath champions Mullingar Shamrocks will have to wait a little bit longer to see who they will face in the Leinster Championship, after today's Dublin SFC Final ended in a draw after extra-time.
Last year's beaten All-Ireland finalists Ballymun Kickhams and St Vincent's couldn't be separated after it finished 0-20 to 1-17 after an extra 10 minutes a side at Parnell Park.
Five points ahead with the game heading towards injury-time Kickhams looked on target for silverware, but Vincent's scored 1-2 without reply, including a Diarmuid Connolly goal to force extra-time.
Vincent's led by two points at half-time in extra-time, but Kickhams stole a march with scores from Dean Rock, despite Shane Carthy being shown a red card.
Ted Furman looked to have bagged yet another county title for Ballymun, but Connolly ensured the sides must meet again following a dramatic final kick.
The sides will meet this Wednesday night at 7.45pm in Parnell Park for the replay.
Loughmore-Castleiney completed a famous Senior Hurling-Football Championship double in Tipperary, thanks to their 3-10 to 0-9 win over Aherlow in today's Football decider.
The eventual winners had just one-point to spare in their hurling final win over Nenagh Éire Óg, but goals were key to this win before 1,746 spectators.
