Edenderry produced a blistering opening 30 minutes to lay the foundations for a Leinster quarter-final victory over St Anne's at Enniscorthy.

Goals from Peter Brady after 11 minutes and Basil Malone four minutes later left them 2-2 to 0-1 clear at the end of the opening quarter, and a penalty just before half-time from substitute Cillian Farrell gave his side a 3-4 to 0-4 interval lead.

A Redmond Barry goal from a penalty handed St Anne's a lifeline, but Edenderry maintained their superiority.
