Errigal Ciaran are safely through to the semi finals of the grade one U16 Championship after they proved too strong for a battling Moy side at home. The winners laid the platform for their victory in the first half and while Moy fought back in the second period they had left themselves with too much to do. Shea McDermott was in superb scoring form for the winners finishing with 2-8 to his name with Charlie Maguire and Ciaran Mullin getting their other goals with Senan Canavan 0-3, Keelan Neill, Elliot Kerr and Mullin 0-2 hitting points.

Beaten league finalists Carrickmore are into the last four as well after accounting for Trillick. Michael McCallan and Shea Munroe were among the goals for the St.Colmcilles with Vincent Gormley, Ryan Donaghy, Cal McAleer and Munroe hitting points and Padraig McCrystal, Finbar Donnelly and Niall McKenna playing well. Sean Corry bagged a hattrick of goals for the St.Macartans with Ryan McGurren firing home a rasper as well while Tadgh Britton, Corry and Fintan Doyle all scored points.

Diarmuid Martin and Tiernan Donnelly scored a brace of goals each for the Pearses with Tom Gallen and Cillian Loane also raising green flags while Peter Colton, Martin, Paudi Goodman and Liam Griffiths all contributed points. Oliver Colton, Gallen and Owen Griffiths all stood out in defence for the winners with the twin threat of Donnelly and Martin to the fore up front. Darragh Devlin hit 1-3 for the Rossas with JP Doris 0-3, Darragh Muldoon 0-2 and Jamie Concannon 0-1 notching points.

Greencastle booked their place in the semi final of the grade two championship thanks to a hard earned win away to neighbours Both Domhnaigh. Sean Og Teague top scored for the winners with 0-8 to his name with Shane Molloy getting their goal and Shane Morris 0-2, Marcus Conway 0-1 and Dara Morris 0-1 points. It was a mature performance from the winners with Eoghan Conway, Seonag Harte, Michael McElduff and Caolan Tracey playing well also. Mark Kennedy 0-4, Harley Patton 0-2, Eoin Maguire and Lucas McGarvey had points for Both Domhnaigh with Sean Harley getting their goal with keeper and Captain Darragh Ellis superb throughout making a number of brilliant saves.
