Following today's quarter-final games, this year's Leinster Club SFC semi-final line-up is Ballyboden St Enda's v St Loman's and Portlaoise v Emmet Og Killoe.

Colm Basquel's second-half goal helped the recently crowned Dublin champions scrape over the line against St Patrick's of Louth in Drogheda, 1-8 to 0-7.

Andy McEntee's charges trailed by 0-3 to 0-4 at the halfway stage but Basquel's green flag swung the keenly contested last eight fixture in their favour.

The Dublin champions will face St Loman's in the last four following the Westmeath side's seven point win over Rathnew (2-10 to 1-6) in Aughrim.

St Loman's had 1-4 on the board before Rathnew opened their account in the 18th minute through Jody Merrigan but James Stafford pulled a goal back for the home team and turned around for the second-half facing a 1-1 to 1-6 deficit.

Indiscipline cost Rathnew in the second-half as they lost both James Stafford and Merrigan to red cards while a late Adam Gaffney goal compounded their woes.

Meanwhile, Portlaoise and Killoe Emmets will square up to each other in the other semi-final on November 22nd.

Goals from Craig Rogers (penalty) and Paul Cahillane in either half boosted Portlaoise to a one point victory over Sarsfields in O'Moore Park.

The Sash's cause wasn't helped by the dismissal of Steven Lawlor for a second yellow card offence late on in the first-half while Portlaoise made the most of their numerical advantage with Brian Smith sending over the winner in the closing stages.

Longford champions Emmet Og Killoe got the better of Navan O'Mahonys on a scoreline of 0-11 to 1-6 in Glennon Bros Pearse Park.

Ruairi O Coileain's goal gave the Meath men a 1-3 to 0-4 interval advantage but they were outscored by seven points to three after the restart.

And the Navan men's woes were compounded when their goalscorer was red carded late on.
