Champions Summerhill are gone, Wolfe Tones, O'Mahonys, Donaghmore Ashbourne and Na Fianna make it to the last four of the senior. In the Intermediate Ballinlough, Ballinabrckey, Castletown and Ratoath advancee while Cortown will meet Dunboyne in the Junior decider. After a big weekend of quarter and semi final action we pick out best XV.

1 Tony McDonnell Summerhill: The holders would have lost by more but for his brace of excellent saves against Wolfe Tones in the quarter final at headquarters.

2 Shane Glynn Wolfe Tones: Tailed Summerhill's roving Paul Rispin with great effect, won so much 50/50 ball and scored what could turn out to be the goal of the season.

3 Stephen Sheppard Wolfe Tones: Held his opponent scoreless, dominated the edge of the square and marshalled his defence well as Summerhill were defeated at Pairc Tailteann.

4 Joey Carry Castletown: Tasked with picking up county man Graham Reilly and did an excellent man marking job. Popped up in the closing stages to fire home the insurance point.

5 Lorcan Maguire Ballinlough: Brilliant reading of the game, defended well and never afraid to join in attack as the Reds advanced to the semi final.

6 Nicky Judge Ballinabrackey: One that should be on Mick O'Dowds radar. The rock that so many Ballivor attacks perished on.

7 Ciaran Ellis Donaghmore-Ashbourne: The trademark Ellis at this stage. Made a number of probing raids up the right flank and scored two points against Duleek Bellewstown.

8 Jamie Queeney Na Fianna: The usual outstanding work rate, kicked two points and had a hand in the crucial goal at the end that finished off the Simonstown challenge.

9 Alan Callaghan Wolfe Tones: Popped up everywhere at Pairc Tailteann against Summerhill. The best player on view as the reigning champions crashed out.

10 Alan Forde Navan O'Mahonys: Skryne could not handle the pace and power of the half forward runs. Scored three well worked points.

11 Conor Downey Na Fianna: Back to the form he showed last year. Super work rate, involved in most Na Fianna attacks and scored 1-3 in their quarter final win over Simonstown.

12 Brian Smith Cortown: Some outstanding high fielding from the Cortown attacker, scored two crucial points and carried the ball with great effect especially in the second half against the wind as Cortown's dream of their first championship silverware in 18 long years continues.

13 Frank Coyne Ratoath: Came on as a substitute midway through the second half a kicked started the Ratoath revival. Finished up with a fine total of 2-3 as Fergal Powers charges advanced to the semi final with the aid of extra time.

14 Fiachra Ward Wolfe Tones: Proved an effective target man as the 'Tones registered their sixth straight win of the SFC campaign to advance to the semi final. The full forward also chipped in with two points.

15 Jake Regan O'Mahonys: Scored 1-6 from play as O'Mahonys outscored Skryne in SFC quarter-final. His first four points came in that opening 15 minutes burst.
