We'll get Eoghan's report from Bandon before he turns his attention to the 8pm hurling meeting of Blarney and Bride Rovers in the Páirc.
And he delivers. Ross Corkery wins it for Nemo. Mark White got a hand, but not enough. Five from five for Nemo. They win 5-4 on penos.

Clare SHC semi-final - Clare and Inagh Kilnamona sharpshooter Aidan McCarthy has closed the gap to two as Sixmilebridge look to hold on in extra-time. All to play for.
All over in Leitrim too. Here's PJ Leddy's report from Mohill's salvage job against Ballinamore Sean O'Heslin's.
I'm flagging here too. Young legs needed so here's Shane Donovan, back to full fitness.
Eoghan Cormican is becoming as sure a guarantee of a long evening as Therese 'extra-time' O'Callaghan.
He reports: "The drama! 82 minutes on a clock and a Brian White Clon free hops off the crossbar and over. To penalties we go. 0-19 to 2-13.
The last shootout this writer sat through had 26 penalties. Something shorter here lads, please, we've a second game to get to this evening in the Páirc."
Sean Og Grogan that won the Tyrone decider for Eire Og, reports Francis Mooney.
Michael Dundon's reports from Tipp dropping on the website shortly. Loughmore could take off a suite of McGraths early with the hurling final in mind, so confortable where they against Moyle Rovers. Liam McGrath shot seven points for them.
Paul Kerrigan's sixth puts Nemo ahead. Then as a Mark Cronin free sails over referee James Bermingham calls back the play for Cronin not taking the free where it was awarded. It's all happening here again. 0-19 to 2-12. 79 minutes gone.
It's level at half-time in extra-time in the Clare SHC semi. Iinagh Kilnamona 1-22 Sixmilebridge 0-25

Friend of the pod Brian Hogan has pulled it out of the fire with O’Loughlin Gaels, thanks to their new Kerry signing. Down to 13 men, his side claimed a stunning victory over city rivals Dicksboro in a highly dramatic Kilkenny SHC Quarter-Final in UPMC Nowlan Park, says Robert Cribbin.
Second half red cards to Mikey Butler for a high challenge on Shane Stapleton and team captain Mark Bergin for an off the ball incident with Ollie Walsh looked to have the defending champions in real trouble but a stoppage time goal from Kerry’s Fionan Mackessy saved the day as Brian Hogan’s side battled to a 2-17 to 0-20 success.
Earlier in the day Mullinavat secured their place in a senior semi-final for the first time since 2015 when they had eight points to spare in a 2-21 to 0-19 win over Erin’s Own.
Mallow goal for Mark Tobin. They lead Muskerry 3-14 to 1-11.
Cagey in Bandon. There's a movie title. After the excitement at the end of normal time, extra-time in Bandon has been a far more cagey affair. The first period of extra-time produced only one point, that Conor Daly's Clon mark.
Nemo midfielder-moved-in-full-forward Barry Cripps tried for goal on 69 minutes, his shot well saved by Mark White. 2-12 to 0-17.
PJ Leddy says Leitrim final replay next Sunday.
The draw has just taken place for the semi finals of the Kerry SFC: Dr Crokes will meet St Brendan's, and Dingle will meet favourites East Kerry.
After their great escape, seven in a row chasing St Thomas will now meet Cappataggle, appearing in their fifth semi-final in eight years but who have never been in the final, in the last four, while Loughrea and Clarinbridge will clash in the other Galway semi-final. Brighton keeper has thrown one in from James Maddison. 0-2
Few results to wrap. Bray Emmets won the Wicklow SHC final. 0-23 to Carnew Emmets 4-8. As we told you earlier, in Leitrim it finished Ballinamore Seán O'Heslins 1-11 Mohill 0-14.

First blood to Clon in extra-time v Nemo. A Conor Daly mark puts them in front. Daly has 1-7 to his name for the day. 63 minutes gone. Peter Drury is yelping on Sky as Welbz misses sitter for Brighton.
Kilmallock v Ballybrown under way in the second Limerick quarter-final. Can Ballybrown break the big four dominance of semi spots?

Reigning All-Ireland champions St Thomas’ remain on course for a seventh Galway SHC title in a row after coming from two points adrift to edge out Turloughmore by 0-19 to 1-15 in a dramatic quarter-final clash. Veteran James Regan was the hero, coming off the bench to break Turloughmore’s hearts in a gripping finish with the winning point. John Fallon.

Aaron Myers winner. Into the final against Imokilly.
Two goals in two minutes for Clon. Nemo sub Ciaran McCartan is turned over by Tom Clancy. The pass inside to the unmarked Conor Daly and he holds his nerve to bring his tally to 1-5. Clon lead 2-8 to 0-13.
Goal in Bandon. Conor Daly to Ross Mannix and the half-forward buries low to the corner to reduce the gap to the minimum. 0-12 to 1-8. 45 minutes gone. Nemo continue with 14 men for another two minutes before Alan O'Donovan returns. EC
Closing stages in SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh and Conor Lehane's 11th point followed by Cormac Beausang's first brought Midleton level against a Sarsfields side who have been much better in the second half. However, Daniel Hogan has since put Sarsfields a point ahead, 0-21 to 0-20.
Éire Óg on victory in the Tyrone SHC final. And commiserations to our old friends in Eoghan Ruadh. 3-16 to 3-13 it finished.
the fourth Galway SHC quarter-final is the run over? Reigning All-Ireland champions St Thomas’ trail Turloughmore — down to 14 men — by 1-13 to 0-15. Could St Thomas’ six years reign in Galway be about to come to an end in this repeat of last year’s final? 2-2 now in the cup semi.
Black card alert in Bandon. Nemo captain Alan O'Donovan is harshly (says Eoghan Cormican) sin-binned for a challenge on Cork senior Maurice Shanley. Conor Daly converts the resulting free to bring Clon within four, 0-11 to 0-7.
4:20pm In Kerry, Crokes have pulled away from Rathmore. 1-11 to 1-3 early in second half.
Mallow pulling away in Kanturk. Leading 1-6 to 0-4 against Muskerry.
Sars-Midleton is bubbling towards a big finish. Midleton 0-15 Sarsfields 0-17 with around 12 left.
Bit of drama in Galway, reports John Fallon.
Heading into the final quarter in the big one and the reigning All-Ireland champions St Thomas’ — bidding for a seventh county title in a row — trail by 1-10 to 0-12 but Turloughmore have been reduced to 14 men after Tom Quirke, who had scored two points, was sent off after picking up a yellow card.

10 mins gone in Kanturk in Cork's remaining quarter-final between Mallow and Muskerry. Mallow lead 1-2 to 0-1. Kevin Sheehan goal.
Eoghan Cormican brings word of a "a real second quarter swing in the Cork PSFC quarter-final at Bandon".
Nemo head to the dressing-room enjoying a double-scores 0-10 to 0-5 advantage, this despite having played into a strong breeze in the opening half an hour.
Trailing 0-5 to 0-4 at the end of the first quarter, Nemo kicked the last six points of the half. The Clon defence was far too easily picked apart, while Mark White restarts also wobbled.
In one instance, a short White restart to corner-back Martin Scally was picked off the floor by the latter, a free in was promptly awarded, with Kerrigan converting to leave the scoreboard reading 0-9 to 0-5. Kerrigan turned provider for their last score of the half, assisting Ronan Dalton. The city men finished with five first-half scorers, Clon just two. The hill facing Clon looks beyond conquering.
Maurice Brosnan is in Fitzgerald Stadium, where Paul Geaney impressed again. Read his report of Dingle's win here
Afternoon all. You were certainly better off following the blog than watching second half of Villa v United (0-0). News in from the big one in Tipp - kingpins Clonmel Commercials into another final. 0-16 to 0-5 winners over Kilsheelan Kilcash. Loughmore's double chasers await in the final.
We're back up and running in Páirc Uí Chaoimh and hopefully the second period will spark to life, Larry Ryan will keep an eye on that and the rest of the day's action from here...
Clon's shooting has become wayward in Bandon. After no wide in the opening quarter, they've kicked four in the last eight minutes. They've not scored since the 15th minute. Conor Horgan's mark for Nemo has them in front for the first time. Mark Cronin has just doubled their lead. Against the wind, they lead 0-7 to 0-5. 25 minutes on the clock.
Twenty minutes gone in the Cork Premier SFC quarter-final at Bandon and Nemo will be absolutely delighted with the 0-5 apiece scoreline. They lost the toss and were told to play into a stiff breeze in the opening half. Conor Horgan and Mark Cronin - their two-man inside line - have contributed three of their 0-5 total. Down the far end, Conor Daly and his four points from play, a mark, and a '45 is taking advantage of the elements behind him.
Turloughmore failed in last year’s county final to stop St Thomas’ equalling their record of six-in-a-row of titles which they completed in the 1960s. They now have a chance at the semi-final stage in Galway to stop the reigning All-Ireland champions from setting a new record of seven on the spin. Turloughmore, having played with the wind, lead by 1-8 to 0-8 at the break thanks to a goal just before the break from Cillian Whelan in front of a huge crowd at Kenny Park in Athenry.
John Fogarty sends this update from Páirc Uí Chaoimh at the break: Half-time in the second semi-final: a blistering finish to the half has given Midleton a three-point advantage, 0-12 to 0-9. Sarsfields were made to pay for a series of poor wides in the second quarter. Midleton’s half-back line have been on top while Conor Lehane has been unerring with six placed balls and added a couple of gorgeous points from play. Sarsfields were 0-5 to 0-1 up after 10 minutes but their return of four points for the remaining 21 minutes of the half was a paltry return. Midleton would have gone into the break four up but for a late Daniel Kearney point.
Scorers for Midleton: C. Lehane (0-8, 4 frees, 2 65s); D. Cremin, L. O’Farrell, R. O’Regan, E. Moloney (0-1 each).
Scorers for Sarsfields: D. Hogan (0-3, 2 frees); L. Elliott (0-2); A. Myers, S. O’Regan, C. Darcy, D. Kearney (0-1 each).
Looks like a hectic start in the semi-final. Less than three minutes in and it's Inagh-Kilnamona 1-2 Sixmilebreidge 0-1.
Fred Hegarty found the net after 60 seconds. Aidan McCarthy and David Fitzgerald have since opened their accounts.
The winners will play Feakle in the decider, after a Shane McGrath masterclass on Saturday.
Ten minutes gone in Bandon in the and it is 0-3 apiece between Clon and Nemo. Clon captain Mark White won the toss and elected to play with the strong breeze. All three Clon points - from Conor Daly, including a mark, and Ross Mannix took advantage of that breeze.
Conor Lehane's second point from play brings Midleton level and his fifth placed ball puts them ahead for the first time, 0-9 to 0-8, in the 25th minute. Seven wides already for Sarsfields and some of their decision-making under little pressure has been questionable. Neither goalkeeper asked to do anything other than take puck-outs.
Therese O'Callaghan was present for the first Cork Premier SHC semi-final at Páirc Uí Choimh and has filed this report after Imokilly's impressive victory over the Rockies.
What were you doing in 1988? Joxer was in Stuttgart, Dublin city was celebrating a millennium of existence and Cuala were in their first and only Dublin SFC final.
The southside side got back to the big one on Saturday as Con O'Callaghan led them to a semi-final win over Ballymun.
They'll play either Na Fianna or Kilmacud in a fortnight with a first senior football title on the line.
Midway through the first half at Páirc Uí Chaoimh and Sarsfields, who lead 0-6 to 0-3, don't look like a team that have been out of action the past four weeks. James Sweeney has been a great focal point for their attack. Daniel Hogan has three points to his name, two from frees. Conor Lehane also has scored thrice, two from placed balls.
And East Kerry will join St Brendan's in the semi finals, as they edge out St Kieran's 1-14 to 1-12 in a tight tussle in Tralee. That's three of the four semi finalists sorted (Dingle also), with one quarter remaining in Killarney - Dr Crokes v Rathmore in an east Kerry derby
So the intriguing - and historic - amalgamation that is St Brendan's are into the last four of the Kerry SFC. They beat Kenmare Shamrocks 0-16 to 0-14. Remember this is a divisional side featuring all three of Tralee's former senior champions - Austin Stacks, Kerins O'Rahillys and John Mitchels. They are being guided by James Costello, the former Kerry minor manager who will be part of Jack O'Connor's senior management team in 2025. Late points from Jack Savage and Paddy Lane get them over the line against Kenmare.

In the Galway SHC quarter-finals, Anthony Burns proves the hero for Loughrea as his late goal secured a semi-final spot for the fourth time in five years after a great comeback by a Castlegar side with former Galway manager Mattie Murphy in charge came up just short on a 1-17 to 0-16 scoreline.
From John Fogarty at Páírc Uí Chaoimh; Only late change in the second Cork PSHC semi-final is a Sarsfields one: Aaron Myers replaces Ben Nodwell. A win for Midleton will set up a repeat of the 2018 final against Imokilly.
A point from Kerins O'Rahilly's Jack Savage keeps the St Brendan's lead at two - 0-15 to 0-13 - going into injury time against Sean O'Shea's Kenmare
