We're into the business-end of the season as two more teams went toppling out of the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship, while the All-Ireland Senior Football preliminary quarter-finals got underway.

A home game for Cork at Páirc Uí Chaoimh got the day's football action underway, with a place in the football quarter-finals with the four provincial winners up for grabs.

The Rebels welcomed Roscommon, with little to separate the counties in the opening half. Roscommon's 0-7 to 0-6 lead at the break didn't last long once play resumed, with the sides trading places on three occasions before Conor Corbett raised the green flag for the homeside to make it 1-12 to 0-11.

Three points from Diarmuid Murtagh aided his team back into the game, leaving it to Ciaráin Murtagh to provide the leveller on the cusp of full-time, but the four added minutes was enough to see Enda Smith send to the line on a red card and a winning point for Kevin O'Donovan.
