Emmet McCabe scored 0-9 as Fingal overcame Louth by 0-16 to 1-11 in Swords to qualify for a Nicky Rackard Cup semi-final against London. The corner forward hit half of the north Dublin side's first half tally to help them to a 0-8 to 0-7 lead at the break. Louth took the lead 11 minutes into the second half thanks to a David Dunne goal, but with McCabe and substitute Colm Foley in fine scoring from, Fingal finished the stronger to advance to the last four. Armagh will face Meath in the other semi-final after they walloped Roscommon by 6-26 to 2-9 in yesterday's other quarter-final tie.
