ALL-IRELAND CLUB JHC SEMI-FINALS: Meelin 0-16 Bearna-Na Forbacha 1-4:ELEVEN POINTS from corner forward Eamon Brosnan secured Meelin a spot in the final and victory over Galway champions Bearna-Na Forbacha in Ennis.

Bearna-Na Forbacha were not helped by the sending off of full-forward Roibeard Ó Curraoin a minute into the second half for a second yellow card offence, but by that stage they had trailed by 0-10 to 1-1 at the break.

A goal from a Gregory Ó Síoda penalty had levelled matters after 17 minutes, but that was as close as the Gaeltacht side came as Meelin powered into the decider against John Lockes.

MEELIN:S O'Sullivan; M Forrest, D O'Riordan, D Lenihan; W Buckley, K Collins, Jerry Forrest; L Collins, W Murphy; John Forrest, S O'Riordan, B O'Sullivan; E Brosnan (0-11, five frees, one 65), J Curtin (0-2), DJ O'Sullivan (0-3). Subs:B Collins for B O'Sullivan (53 mins).
