Tipp will be gutted tonight because they dominated for long spells and could have been out of sight. The game will come as a big wake-up call for the Rebels who'll face either Kerry or Clare in the provincial decider.
The biggest result of the day was at Celtic Park where Longford caused a major upset by beating Derry by 2-16 to 2-14. Longford were 9/1 outsiders heading into the game but produced a brilliant performance and they needed an injury-time Brian Kavanagh point to seal the win.
Laois and Fermanagh played out an absolute cracker in Portlaoise with the home side coming out on top by just a point on a final score of 1-19 to 2-15. The Ulster side will be kicking themselves as they seemed to have all the momentum in the closing stages but couldn't quite get it over the line. Laois were a pale shadow of the side that impressed against Dublin but they're through.
London's Championship campaign is over after losing a close game with Limerick this afternoon. The Treaty County ran out 1-16 to 1-13 winners. The teams were level with seven minutes to go but Ian Ryan put over two points late-on to seal the win.
It's been well documented how difficult it is to go to Aughrim and get a result and Offaly found out the hard way today. Wicklow beat them in a brilliant game, it finished 3-12 to 0-17. The goals were key and they came courtesy of Seanie Furlong (two) and Darren Hayden.
Galway will face Mayo in the Connacht Football Final after the Tribesmen beat Sligo by 0-16 to 0-11 today. Galway were full value for the win and never looked like coming out on the losing side. Their young gun Shane Walsh was in fine form kicking 0-06 in total.
Sligo 0-11 Galway 0-16.
