Club SFC Semi-finals Round-up: South Kerry had reason to rue some great opportunities missed in the second half of a keenly-fought first county semi-final at Fitzgerald Stadium, Killarney, yesterday.

Laune's county star and centre back John Sheehan scored the all- important goal when he received a good pass from Seamus Foley, just two minutes into the second half. Rangers prevailed on a 1-8 to 0-9 scoreline, despite the efforts of former county star Maurice Fitzgerald for the losers.

In the second semi-final, at the same venue, hot favourites An Ghaeltacht came perilously close to being knocked out by a spirited effort by Mid Kerry, before winning by 0-14 to 1-10. Darragh Ó Sé sent over the winning point in the first minute of injury-time

Caltra secured a place in their first Galway final for three decades when they proved too strong and too skilful for Mountbellew-Moylough, beating them by 1-12 to 0-8 in their replayed semi-final in Tuam Stadium.

A Noel Meehan goal after just two minutes set them on the road and they never looked likely to relinquish that lead, with Micheál Meehan scoring five points.

A good all-round team performance ensured Four Masters are back in the Donegal final for the second time in three years, after they beat Ardara by 1-8 to 0-7.

An opportunist goal from Michael Doherty eight minutes before the break put the Donegal town men back on terms and from then on they held the upper-hand.

Four Masters will now play another of the outsiders, Termon, in the final after they shocked MacCumhaills in the other semi-final, 4-8 to 2-11.

Castlehaven coasted to the Cork county final with a comfortable 0-13 to 0-5 win over newcomers Douglas at rain-lashed Bandon yesterday.

Despite being reduced to 14 players following the dismissal of midfielder Dermot Hurley for a second yellow card offence after 35 minutes Castlehaven were always in control.

They led by 0-7 to 0-3 at the interval, having played against the strong wind. Corner forwards Colin Crowley and Paudie Hurley were their scorers-in-chief against a young and inexperienced Douglas side.

County star Jason Stokes saw to it that Monaleen surrendered their Limerick title with a 50th minute match-winning point to send Drom-Broadford into the decider against newcomers Athea. on a 1-7 to 1-6 scoreline.
