The 2015 U-21 champions Colmcille got the better of the 2016 champions Killoe Emmet Og as they cruised to a very easy win in the semi-final clash at McGee Park on Sunday.
Colmcille . . . 4-10 Killoe Emmet Og . . . 2-3
Colmcille dominated from start to finish, leading by 3-5 to 0-2 at the break, and produced some terrific football. They defended resolutely, bossed the midfield sector and their slick forwards gave the Killoe defence a torrid time throughout the game.
Colmcille were a lot sharper and showed the greater hunger to emerge worthy winners in advancing to meet Clonguish in the county final at Glennon Brothers Pearse Park on Sunday next.

Subs:- Shane Grey for C McCabe (43 mins); Colin Sexton for C McKeon and Niall McGee for C Farley (48 mins); Eoin Hawkins for A McKeon (52 mins); Shane Hawkins for C Reilly and Stephen Brady for P Farley (54 mins).
