They now play the winners of The Heath and O'Dempsey's.

Scorers: Robert Hibbits 2-1, Jarelath Challoner 1-2, Michael Ennis 1-2, Darragh Hanlon 0-4, Donnacha O'Mahony 0-2, Paddy Gorry 0-2, Noel Dunne 0-1.

Mountmellick Rovers

Frankford 3, Mountmellick 8.

Mountmellick Rovers put on a brilliant display despite going down one nil down after five minutes. Two goals from James Quigley gave Mountmellick back the lead. But a great performance from Steven Burke scoring four goals made sure all three points for Mountmellick. Two more great goals from Jonathon Allen and David Kelly ensured a Mountmellick. It was a great performance.
