ALL-IRELAND CLUB JFC SEMI-FINALS: Swanlinbar 0-5 Ballinabrackey 0-4:CAVAN AND Ulster champions Swanlinbar will contest this year's All-Ireland JFC final after seeing off Leinster title holders Ballinabrackey by 0-5 to 0-4 at Kenagh, Longford.

In a hard-hitting affair, the Meathmen were profligate throughout, meaning that despite leading by 0-2 to 0-0 early on, they were eventually pegged back by the Cavan men and the sides went in level at the break on a scoreline of 0-3 each.

A Séamus Curry point 12 minutes after the restart put the Royal County side 0-4 to 0-3 in front but two Robbie Prior points thereafter sealed the spoils for the Breffni side.

SWANLINBAR:G Leydon; T O'Brien, Michael Cunningham, P Prior; D Leydon, J Cunningham, P Leydon; M Curran, G McKiernan (0-1); C Curran, P McGovern, D McGovern; Mark Cunningham (0-2, one free), K Brennan, R Prior (0-2, one free). Subs:R McBarron for P McGovern; P McManus for R Prior.
