ALL-IRELAND IFC SEMI-FINALS: Lisnaskea Emmets 1-12 Ballymore 1-5:DANIEL KILLE ended with nine points as Lisnaskea Emmets of Fermanagh booked a date in Croke Park for the All-Ireland IFC final with a seven-point win in Navan yesterday.

Despite Tommie Archbold hitting the net after nine minutes for Ballymore, the Ulster champions bossed the opening half and held a four-point lead before Mark Little blasted to the net before the break to put them 1-8 to 1-1 ahead.

That was to prove the crucial score and despite Ballymore’s best efforts in the second half they just couldn’t eat into the lead.

The Kildare side never got closer than five points in the second half and their day was summed up when Shane Kavanagh picked up a second yellow card in the dying stages.
