Na Piarsaigh manager Shane O'Neill breathed a sigh of relief at the end of today's enthralling All-Ireland Club SHC semi-final clash with Oulart-The Ballagh.

"Semi-finals, as they say, are all about winning so, yeah, total relief," he admitted to TG4's GAA Beo.

"I thought Oulart threw everything at us in the last 10, 15 minutes of normal time but we were confident enough in ourselves that if it went to extra-time that we would give it a right go and I was delighted for the lads."

After being informed that Cushendall will provide the opposition on St Patrick's Day, 'man-of-the-match' Will O'Donoghue remarked: "We'll start preparing now for Cushendall.

"I haven't seen much action out of them but I'm sure they'll be a great side.

"They're in an All-Ireland final so we'll have to get back, work hard and see how we get on on Paddy's Day.

"But, it's great to be there."
