Kildare 1-13 Fermanagh 0-9
Brian McLoughlin changed the course of a dire Tailteann Cup semi-final with his impressive 0-4 contribution off the bench booking Kildare's place in the final.
Conditions were far from ideal in Croke Park with a couple of torrential downpours throughout the game but the action between the white lines was anything but inspiring in a forgettable encounter.
McLoughlin was only on the field for 20 minutes but he still walked away with the man-of-the-match award after a crucial two-pointer helped to turn to the tide with four points scored within a five-minute period while James McGrath put the game to bed with a late goal for the Lilies.
Victory for Brian Flanagan's side also helped to bury a Kildare hoodoo at the Jones' Road venue with just their fourth win from 24 games there dating all the way back to 2014.
For Fermanagh, Kieran Donnelly's side lacked the necessary punch in attack but they could have left just one point in it with eight minutes to play only for Josh Largo Elis' goal chance to be scrambled out on the line.
Kildare will head back to GAA HQ in three weeks where they meet surprise packets Limerick with the Tailteann Cup, and a place in the 2026 All-Ireland SFC, up for grabs.

All-Ireland semi-final ticket prices to increase again this year
All-Ireland senior semi-final ticket prices have increased for the second year in a row. Stand tickets, starting with Saturday and Sunday week's hurling last four games, are priced at €60, €5 more than last year's figure. The same €5 increase applies to discounted student and old age pensioner stand tickets, which are now €55 in the Cusack and Davin Stands. Admission to Hill 16 remains €40 as was the case last year. Entry for a juvenile (U16s) for the Cusack and Davin Stands is €10. Last year, admission rose by €5 for adult stand and terrace tickets as well as concessions having been €50, €45 and €35 respectively in 2023. In two years, a stand ticket for an All-Ireland semi-final has jumped by nearly 17%. The news for Cork, Dublin, Kilkenny and Tipperary supporters comes after Tipperary and Galway fans were charged €40 for their standalone All-Ireland SHC quarter-final in Limerick on Saturday, the same price as last year's double-header. In May last year, the GAA confirmed it was increasing price points for the All-Ireland quarter-final and semi-finals by €5 as well as raising a stand ticket price for an All-Ireland final to €100 and terrace to €55. For the second year in a row, the Munster Council last month increased ticket prices for June 7's Munster SHC final and stand admission cost €50 having been €40 in 2023. That was in line with their decision to raise the admission prices for round robin games for the second successive season with a stand ticket now priced at €40, up €10 from two years ago following the two bumps. Tickets for the All-Ireland senior hurling semi-finals will go on general sale on Monday at 12pm (Cork-Dublin, July 5) and 2pm (Kilkenny-Tipperary, July 6) respectively. Tickets for this forthcoming weekend's All-Ireland SFC quarter-final double-headers, which were last year priced at €45 for a regular stand ticket and €35 for Hill 16, will go on sale early this week.

Shaun Patton admits current All-Ireland format is 'intense'
Shaun Patton admitted the gruelling schedule of the current All-Ireland format is 'intense' as Donegal reached the quarter-finals following a seventh championship win this season. Donegal had to go the hard way to win Ulster as they were drawn in the preliminary round, but won all four games to retain the Anglo-Celt Cup. Patton, who had been a huge weapon for Jim McGuinness' side, picked up an injury in the final, which saw him miss the first two games of the All-Ireland group stages, a loss to Tyrone and a win over Cavan as Gavin Mulreany deputised. He was back for the Mayo game as Donegal secured second in the group and a home tie with Louth seven days later, the 2-22 to 0-12 win over the Leinster champions secures a spot in the last eight of the competition, where they will face either Meath or Monaghan next weekend. 'It is an intense schedule,' Patton said after the game. 'For myself, I'm not running the legs off myself like the other boys are, but it's intense and you can't afford to be picking up knocks when it's week on week. 'But that's the structure of the championship, and there's no point complaining about it. 'I had a wee break to myself, so I'm feeling quite good and I'm delighted to be back in. 'It's tough to watch on from the sidelines but Gavin stepped in and, in my opinion, did really well. You look at the Tyrone game and it was a tough game to go into. The game was flat in general from our perspective so I'm delighted to get back in but we have a fantastic goalkeeper in Gavin behind me.' On the game itself, Donegal failed to flatter in a first half that still saw them lead by 1-6 to 0-7 but they really got going after the restart and it was job done for the St Eunan's goalkeeper. 'The whole point of today was getting the result and getting to Croke Park for the quarter-final next week, so we're happy to get that box ticked. 'Obviously, it's the performances we'll have to look at, that first half we wouldn't be too happy with, but the job is done and we'll go on to next week and get the bodies right from now until then. 'We started reasonably well, but I don't really know what the cause of it was, whether it was poor shot selection, which cost us at the other end and we can't really let that happen. 'We were happy to get into half-time and we're happy with the second half performance but moving on we can't really allow a first half like that to happen.'

When is the All-Ireland Football quarter-final draw and how can I watch it?
And then there were eight... The All-Ireland Football Quarter-Final draw takes place on Monday as the remaining eight teams learn their opponents in what is expected to be a mammoth weekend of football. The weekend just gone provided plenty of drama, but the much-favoured Galway, Donegal, Dublin, and Kerry all progressed. It now means that we are in for a mouth-watering final eight with some of the 'big dogs' showing plenty of mixed form throughout the 2025 season. Here is everything you need to know about the draw. The draw takes place at 8.35 am. Morning Ireland will host the draw but you can also tune into live coverage on RTE News Channel and the RTE Player. The Group winners are as follows: Meath, Monaghan, Tyrone, Armagh Unseeded sides: Dublin, Kerry, Donegal, Galway The GAA wants to avoid repeated fixtures of provincial finals or round one of the All-Ireland series where possible, so we know one fixture for certain: Kerry v Armagh. Next weekend! Once the draw is made and the powers that be meet and discuss, we should have all the details tomorrow afternoon . It has been an absolutely wild All-Ireland series thus far. Donegal and Galway were many people's favourites coming into 2025 but the Tribesmen have been far from impressive in Championship while Donegal were in danger of finishing third in their group but really impressed against Louth on Sunday. Dublin can't be written off but recent performances won't have scared the top teams while Kerry are in the exact same boat. The dark horses have been a pleasant surprise this summer, Meath were excellent against Kerry while Monaghan have been shooting lights out and both Armagh and Tyrone certainly look like the most solid outfits up to this point.
