The race for the Co-Op Superstores Senior A Hurling Championship crown has narrowed to four teams following a dramatic weekend of quarter-final action.
Bride Rovers impressed as they overcame Inniscarra, finding their rhythm up front and pulling away to secure a deserved 2-23 to 1-18 victory.
Blarney also booked their semi-final place, edging out Na Piarsaigh in a tense encounter that finished 1-21 to 0-19.
Those wins mean Bride Rovers will now meet Carrigtwohill in the last four, while Castlelyons will take on Blarney in the other semi-final, with both ties to be played in two weeks time in SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh.
The relegation battle was equally intense as Bishopstown and Courcey Rovers faced off in a do-or-die clash. After a nail-biting struggle, Courceys emerged on top by just two points, 0-16 to 0-14, ensuring their Senior A status for another season.

The Co-Op Superstores Premier Senior Hurling Championship is reaching its climax, with the quarter-finals serving up a series of hard-fought contests that have set the stage for two fascinating semi-finals.
Sarsfields got the better of Charleville in a competitive affair, their greater scoring spread proving decisive as they ran out winners on a 0-22 to 1-15 scoreline. Midleton and Glen Rovers produced one of the games of the season, a high-intensity clash that went right down to the wire, with Midleton just edging it 2-19 to 2-17. St. Finbarr’s, meanwhile, looked in ruthless form, hitting three goals to pull clear of Imokilly and securing a 3-16 to 1-12 victory.
Those results now see Blackrock face Midleton in the first semi-final, while Sarsfields will lock horns with St. Finbarr’s in the second. Both ties are set to take place in SuperValu Páirc Ui Chaoimh in two weeks time with dates and times to be confirmed on Sunday evening by Cork GAA CCC
At the other end of the championship, the relegation play-off between Erin’s Own and Newtownshandrum ended in dramatic fashion. After a thrilling battle that produced a final score of 4-15 to 2-21, the sides could not be separated. The contest will now go to a replay, with fixture details to be confirmed.
