Leitrim County Champions St Mary's Kiltoghert and League winners Fenagh St Caillins have been kept apart in an intriguing draw for the Connacht Gold Leitrim Senior Football Championship Semi-Finals after Ballinamore Sean O'Heslins booked their place in next weekend's last four.

Ballinamore Sean O'Heslins turned in an impressive second half display as they went from a point down at the break to beat Glencar Manorhamilton 4-13 to 1-13 in Sunday's delayed quarter-final and their reward is a semi-final meeting with the champions.

League winners Fenagh St Caillins, so impressive in their 1-22 to 2-3 victory over Leitrim Gaels in the quarter-final last week, will face a Mohill team they drew with in the group stages in an all-star semi-final line-up that features the last three championship winners in St Mary's Kiltoghert, Ballinamore Sean O'Heslins and Mohill and reigning League champions Fenagh St Caillins.

In the Vistamed Junior A Championship draw, a second string team will contest the final after Cloone were drawn to face Glenfarne Kiltyclogher in the first semi-final leaving Annaduff to take on St Mary's Kiltoghert in the other game. Both Annaduff and St Mary's Kiltoghert have teams in the senior and intermediate semi-finals.

Curiously, the semi-final draw is a repeat of the last round of group games where St Mary's beat Annaduff 0-10 to 0-8 and Cloone prevailed 0-13 to 0-11. Annaduff beat Melvin Gaels convincingly in Sunday's quarter-final, winning 2-18 to 0-2, while Glenfarne Kiltyclogher beat Gortletteragh in the second quarter-final.

Dates and venues for the semi-finals will be announced later.
