Quarter FinalReport by Mairead O SullivanFinuge 0.11 v Brosna 1.13
This was a fairly open game of football with both sides wanting to attack, it was Finuge on the scoreboard first with a converted free by Darragh Mackessy. But the score of the half was Brosna's opening point from the boot of Patrick Moriarty, Finuge replied with a point from Pat Corridan, quickly added to by team mate Colin Sheehy, with Finuge now 2 points up, it was Brosna's Paul Walsh who kept his side in touch, with his free taking skills converted two awarded free's in the 8th and 12th minutes, again Walsh split the posts from play in the 13th minute to bring Brosna in front for the first time and from here on in Finuge chased the game.  Brosna added three more points to their first half tally to Finuge two points coming from a free by Colin Sheehy and a point from Shane Conway.  Half time score Brosna 0.07  v Finuge 0.05

Second half and Brosna owned the ball from the throw in with 3 fast points from Kieran O Donnell, Tom McGoldrick and Dave Curtin, that is not to say Finuge did not have their chances with an attempt on goal being saved in the 2 minute of the half. Finuges response came in the 10th minute with a point from sub Jamie Galvin, again Finuge were on the attack with a point from corner forward Darragh Mackessey.  The play swayed from end to end and the game came to a deadlock, until Tom McGoldrick Brosna popped the ball over the bar, the response came from a peach of a point kicked by Raymond Galvin Finuge, With three between the sides and both full forwards exchanging points in the 21st and 22nd minutes.  But the nail in the coffin came for Finuge when the only goal of the game came in the 27th minute after a well worked one two pass between Adam Barry and Timmy Finnegan, only for Finnegan on the return pass to rattle the back of the Finuge net.  Finuge still fought hard adding two more points and had an awarded penalty saved in injury time.  But Brosna play smart holding the ball were needed to see out the game and now march on into the Semi Finals Full time Score Brosna 1.13 v Finuge 0.11pts

Quarter FinalReport by Sean MoriartyDuagh 1.07 v St Senans 2.11
Frank Sheehy Park, Listowel was the venue for the second Quarter-Final in the 2019 Bernard O' Callaghan Memorial Senior Football Championship, sponsored by McMunns Bar and Restaurant Ballybunion, between reigning champions St. Senans and Duagh. The large crowd were treated to a belter of a game when this year's championship burst to life. St. Senans opened the scoring through a free from Sean O' Connell in the 2nd min,but it was obvious that Duagh were up for the battle and they proceeded to dominate affairs in the first quarter, Duagh danger man Nigel O' Connor finished off a great move to the net in the 4th min and the same player pointed from play in the 8th min and from a free in the 15th min.to put Duagh 1-02 to 0-01 ahead at this point. St. Senans needed a score badly and full forward Sean Weir provided it with a goal in the 16th min.Nigel O' Connor fired over from play a minute later, at which point St. Senans switched talisman defender Sean T Dillon onto him,in an effort to curb his influence on the game, something he succeeded in doing. Duagh would not score for the remainder of the half as St. Senans notched 1-03 without reply. St. Senans captain, Jason Browne goaled in the 22nd min and along with points from Sean O' Connell (2) and Sean Weir, left the half-time score reading St. Senans  2-04  Duagh  1-03.Duagh made two changes at the break and as in the first half, they dominated the first 10mins of play. Duagh missed two scorable frees before Martin Scanell converted one in the 36th min. Anthony Maher who was now operating at the edge of the square pointed from play in the 38th min and when Nigel O' Connor lasered over a 45' a minute later, there was the minimum between the sides. It was all to play for now as both sets of supporters got behind their team. Paudie Quille who was very impressive in the second half pointed from play before Duagh suffered a further blow losing Kieran Lucey to a red card as we entered the final quarter. Barry Mahony who had a very impressive hour was pulling the strings for St. Senans as they added a further 3pts, through substitute Conor Kennelly, Sean O' Connell and Paudie Quille to put 5pts between the sides with 8mins to play. St. Senans however then lost star defender Sean T Dillon to a red card following a melee with 5mins to play but it was too late for Duagh. Martin Scannell did point for them on the stroke of normal time but it was St. Senans who finished the strongest, scoring 3pts in the 5mins of additional time, 2pts from Paudie Quille and a free from Sean O' Connell to leave the full-time score when referee Eddie Barrett, Knocknagoshel who handled the game well, blew the final whistle at  St. Senans  2-11  Duagh  1-07.Overall Duagh played with great heart and did trouble the reigning champions with the intensity of their play but ultimately a lack of scoring power cost them. St. Senans are an impressive resolute outfit and they will not surrender their title easily.ST. SENANS: 1) James Barry 2) Mike Keane 3) Bill Keane 4) Kieran Lyons 5) Darragh Behan 6) Sean T.
