St. Gall's remain on course for a six in-a-row of Antrim SFC titles after securing their semi-final place at Creggan's expense.

After racing into a 0-7 to 0-1 lead by the 20th minute, they saw their advantage cut to two points after Odhran McLarnon goaled for Creggan on the stroke of half-time. But Sean Burke's goal immediately after the restart enabled the Milltown men to take control again and they pulled away for a 1-16 to 1-8 victory thanks to points from Niall O'Neill, Kevin McGourty and Karl Stewart.

Traditional giants St. John's are also through to the last-four after accounting for neighbours O'Donovan Rossa on a 0-12 to 1-5 scoreline. Conal Kelly was the winners' top scorer with 0-6, while Michael Armstrong accounted for the Rossa goal 10 minutes from the end.

A dominant first half display, at the end of which they led 0-8 to 0-2, paved the way for Cargin's 0-14 to 0-6 success over Rasharkin, while Ahoghill and St. Brigid's will have to replay their quarter-final after finishing level on 1-7 each.
