After a busy weekend in the County Senior Football Championship, the last four are now decided, and it's an exact replica of last year.

County defender Dermot Ryan kicked four points for the Ballymacarbry side.
A bad tempered second half featured eight yellow cards, a black card and a red card. Paddy Kiely was dismissed for Stradbally after a 20 man row in front of the stand.

The Nire will face defending champions Ballinacourty in the last four after Ballinacourty beat Kilrossanty on Saturday evening by  2-05 to 1-04.
