Elsewhere though, Longford are into the O’Byrne Cup final after a draw against Meath. It ended Longford 10 points Meath 1-7 in Ashbourne.
Louth and Offaly will clash in a semi-final. Offaly had Dublin’s measure on a scoreline of 11 points to 8.
One local result I can give you comes in the form of the Leinster senior hurling B championship.
