Back in business: here's everything you need to know about the weekend's GAA action
O’Byrne Cup Quarter-Finals
Dublin 4-14 UCD 0-12 Kevin McManamon, Bryan Cullen, Diarmuid Connolly and Seán Murray got the goals in Parnell Park on Saturday night as the All-Ireland champions eased through to the O’Byrne Cup semi-finals.
Longford 0-12 DCU 2-11 There was little to choose between Longford and DCU in a tight encounter in Ballymahon yesterday. The sides went in level at half-time with eight points apiece, but goals from Jack Brady and Donal Smith ultimately proved decisive.
Kildare 0-17 Offaly 0-04 James Kavanagh led the way as Kildare eased past Offaly without too much difficulty. The Ballymore Eustace clubman posted four points from play and another from a free to help set up a semi-final against Dublin next weekend.
Meath 0-11 Louth 0-05 Meath will host DCU next weekend after scoring a six-point win over a lacklustre Louth in Navan yesterday, Graham Reilly with five points.

Dr McKenna Cup Round 2
Derry 1-16 UUJ 0-14 Paddy Bradley marked his return from injury with a goal on Saturday night. The veteran forward scored the only goal of the game as Derry went on to win by five points.
Fermanagh 2-13 QUB 0-10 Peter Canavan made it two wins from two since taking charge of Fermanagh. Seamus Quigley, who posted an impressive 1-08 against Queen’s last week, hit the same tally again yesterday.
Monaghan 0-11 Down 4-12 Down had it all their own way in Clones as goals from Kalum King (2), Dan Gordan and Benny Coulter gave them a 13-point win against a disappointing Monaghan side.
Antrim 0-12 Tyrone 1-10 Tyrone squeezed out a win over Antrim by the narrowest of margins. Stephen O’Neill was the Red Hand’s leading scorer with 1-03.

Armagh 1-18 St Mary’s 0-10 Armagh picked up their first points of the pre-season with an 11-point win against St Mary’s, corner-forward Ryan Rafferty with the goal.
Cavan 1-14 Donegal 2-08 Paddy McBrearty’s late goal wasn’t enough to spare Donegal’s blushes in Breffni Park yesterday as Cavan mounted a second-half turnaround to upset the All-Ireland semi-finalists. Cavan trailed by 1-7 to 0-09 at the break, but a Raymond Galligan penalty in the second half helped turn the tide in their favour.
FBD Insurance Football League Round 3
Galway 1-15 London 0-08 Michael Finnerty scored the only goal of the game as Galway controlled proceedings against London in Duggan Park.
Leitrim 1-08 Roscommon 1-05 Leitrim were surprise winners at Ballinamore yesterday, grinding out a rare win against an under-strength Roscommon side. Full-foward James Glancy finished the day with 1-04, his goal coming through a second-half penalty.
Mayo 4-11 GMIT 0-11 Danny Kirby’s fab four was the talking point of Mayo’s win in Ballinrobe yesterday. The full-forward terrorised the students’ defence as he scored all of four of Mayo’s goals.
IT Sligo 0-06 Sligo 1-09 Sligo were made to work for their six-point victory over IT Sligo in Quigabar. Seven Sligo wides in the first half gave the students hope of a second-half revival, but the game was made safe by Johnny Davey’s goal in the 48th minute.
McGrath Cup Quarter-Finals
Cork 2-14 Clare 0-07 Conor Counihan may have been looking through his fingers, but his Cork side had it all their own way as they booked a place in the McGrath Cup semis. Colm O’Neill marked his return from a cruciate ligament injury in style, earning all of the plaudits for a performance in which he scored 2-04.

Tipperary 4-16 Waterford IT 0-06 Barry Grogan hit a hat-trick as Tipperary crushed Waterford IT by 22 points.
Limerick 0-10 UCC 1-19 Sigerson Cup holders UCC were too hot for an under-strength Limerick to handle in Rathkeale yesterday. The students racked up the points in the second half, outscoring Maurice Horan’s men by 0-14 to 0-05.
