The quarter finals of the O’Neill’s Minor championship took place on Wednesday night in all three grades.

Thomas Doris got their goal with James Devlin 0-4, Shaun Conway 0-2, Jamie Devlin 0-2, Emmet McGuigan and Eunan Devlin scoring their points, the latter’s the winning score a minute from time. They will play neighbours Ardboe in the semi-final after the Rossas comfortably got the better of Edendork. Callum McGuigan, Eugene Og Teague and Stefan O’Hare got their goals as it finished 3-16 to 0-8.
The other grade one semi is also a meeting of neighbours with Carrickmore taking on Galbally. The St.Colmcilles turned on the style to beat Dromore 5-6 to 1-7. Conor Loughran [2-1], Ciaran Daly [1-2], Ciaran Cuddy [1-0], Paddy McElduff [1-0], Cormac Munroe, Tiernan Murray and James McGurk were the Carrickmore scorers with Jarlath Kerr, McGurk, Tommy McCallan and Murray all playing well for them.

Galbally defeated neighbours Killeeshil at Pearse Park on a 3-6 to 1-9 score line.

Hoy and Cormac Donaghy helped Killeeshil draw level in the third quarter before Conor Donaghy put Galbally in front. Mark Donnelly then bagged a crucial third goal for the Pearses and while Killeeshil had the final say from a Pascal Donaghy free it was the home side who went through.
