As the club championships around the country begin to turn for home, we look at the main results of the weekend.

Cork SFC

Reigning Cork and Munster champions Nemo Rangers were shocked in the Cork quarter-finals after failing to score for the first 43 minutes against Castlehaven. The West Cork side won out 1-11 to 0-04, with county star Michael Hurley bagging the goal.

Castlehaven will face Duhallow in the semi-final, with 2016 champions Carbery Rangers facing 2017 runners-up St Finbarr's, who beat Douglas in the last eight.

Mayo SFC

Ballintubber are through to the county semi-final where they will take on reigning champions Castlebar Mitchells. Cillian O'Connor was on top form as his side ran out 2-17 to 0-11 winners over Moy Davitts. Castlebar saw off Claremorris, 1-20 to 2-09.

Breaffy edged past Westport by the narrowest of margins, with goalkeeper Rob Hennelly converting a late free to seal a one-point win. Aidan O'Shea and Co will face Ballaghaderreen in the final four.
