Ballintubber put a whopping 9-11 past a hapless Knockmore at Elvery's MacHale Park today to set up a mouth-watering Moclair Cup decider against All-Ireland club finalists Castlebar Mitchels next month.

Two-time Young Footballer of the Year Cillian O'Connor scored 3-3 and had a hand in three other goals. Amazingly, all four of the O'Connor brothers who started for the 2010 and 2011 champions - Cillian, Diarmuid, Padraic and Ruaidhri - raised green flags in an emphatic 9-11 to 2-12 victory.

In the first semi-final, Richie Feeney's 42nd minute goal proved decisive as Castlebar edged out Garrymore on a 1-14 to 1-11 scoreline. That gave the holders an eight-point advantage, but they were left holding on in the end after Jimmy Killeen netted from the penalty spot for Garrymore and Mark Tierney and Caolan Crowe added points.
