After a busy day of provincial football quarter finals, we now know the make-up of the upcoming semi-finals.
Corofin were the favourites for what is generally perceived as an open All-Ireland club championship before a ball was kicked on Sunday. The Galway side were well beaten by an impressive Padraig Pearses with Paul Carey starring for the Roscommon side with 1-4.
Pearses, Cuala, Kilcoo and Dr Crokes are now seen as the front-runners for the competition outright after a busy weekend of action.
A Niall O'Callaghan inspired Cuala enjoyed an impressive win over Naas in a thrilling encounter in St Conleth's Park on Saturday night while Crokes took out reigning Munster champs Castlehaven.
Tony Brosnan was the key man for Dr Crokes, scoring 1-7, including three from play with Gavin O'Shea and Gavin White also impressing for Pat O'Shea's team.

Armagh's Clann Eireann must also be considered as a force to be reckoned with after eliminating Derry champs Newbridge with a solid 0-14 0-12 victory in Celtic Park. Jack Conlan was their main man, kicking three from play, bringing them through to the next round.
They'll face Errigal Ciaran in the last four after their eight point win over Cargin on Sunday afternoon. Erne Gaels/Scotstown will face Kilcoo on the other side of the draw, after the Down men defeated Crosserlough on Saturday night.
The last Leinster quarter final takes place this Tuesday live on Clubber, with Wexford's Castletown meeting Westmeath's St Loman's in Mullingar. The winner of that game will play Ardee St Mary's, who had a convincing win over Rathvilly of Carlow.
