Half-time! Galway lead Cork 1-9 to 0-7. That Dillon goal was vital as Cork face the second half down to 14 players.

Good night and good luck.

Rory often gets criticised for his putting. He's drained some brilliant long ones this week under pressure

Tasty

Rory has been criticised for his composure in play-offs too. That's his third big play-off win this season after beating JJ Spaun and Justin Rose. It's been a season for slaying demons.

Superb win for Rathcline who have reached a first Longford SFC semi-final since 2002. Will play either Killoe or Mullinalaghta for the chance to get to final for the first time since 1979. Last won the senior championship in 1976.

Not to be for Rathcline but they've been making breakthroughs in recent seasons. Ended a 14-year wait for a senior quarter-final in 2022. And a first semi-final since 2002 this year. A great base to work from going forward.
