Women's Football: In the TG4 Ulster Championship yesterday, there were semi-final wins for both Monaghan and Armagh, but the games are contested over two legs and the second round will take place next weekend.
Monaghan are looking good to make the final, though, after beating Down by 2-8 to 0-7 in Downpatrick yesterday. The sides were level on three points apiece at half-time but a minute after the resumption Gráinne McNally rattled the back of the Down net. Niamh Kindlon followed that goal with a point to put Monaghan four points up.
Michaela Downey tried hard to keep Down in the game at this stage with a brace of points. However, Monaghan responded with 1-4 in succession - the goal coming from Therese McNally.
In the second Ulster semi-final, Armagh beat Tyrone 0-15 to 1-8 at Mullaghbawn.
Dublin failed to defend their TG4 Leinster SFC title after suffering defeat to Meath at the semi-final stages, 4-8 to 2-13.
Gillian Bennett, who finished the game with a personal tally of 3-4, scored Meath's winning goal eight minutes into injury-time at Ratoath on Saturday.
Mary Nevin's second-half goal for Dublin looked like it would ultimately prove the difference between the sides as the game went into injury-time but Bennett pounced to send Meath through.
They will meet Laois in the Leinster final after they beat Kildare 4-8 to 2-9 in the second semi-final, which was played in Stradbally yesterday. Goals from Noreen Kirwan and Emer Fitzpatrick helped them to a 2-5 to 1-3 half-time lead.
Finally, Waterford will meet Cork in the Munster final after they beat Kerry in their semi-final, 1-8 to 1-6, at Dungarvan yesterday.
