Cashel stayed with them to the three-quarters stage but then Clonoulty piled on the scores with Hammersley getting their goal just before the finish. After 39 minutes Holycross were level, 0-13 to 1-10, but Loughmore kept their cool, with John McGrath accurate from frees to qualify for the quarter-final against Moycarkey-Borris. Darragh Woods scored 13 points for Holycross, 11 from frees with John McGrath notching nine for Loughmore, seven from frees. Eamon Tuohy’s first-half goal was decisive as Ballingarry defeated St Mary’s in the South SHC quarter-final at Monroe.
