2016 All-Ireland winners Ballyboden St Endas dashed Thomas Davis' hopes in the Dublin senior football final in Parnell Park - beating the Tallaght side on a 0-15 to 0-9 scoreline.

There was Ulster senior football quarter-final action too this afternoon.

Naomh Conaill eventually won the Donegal title after a second replay win over Gaoth Dobhair, and tiredness wasn't an issue for them today.

Kilcoo of Down beat Derry champions Magherafelt at Páirc Esler in Newry by five points - 1-11 to 0-9.

Derrygonnelly progressed 6-5 on spot-kicks and will meet Kilcoo in the last four.
