### Quarter-finals

[edit]

In one of the quarter-finals, Lios Póil lost to Caisléan Ghriaire by 0-10 to 2-16.[citation needed]

### Semi-finals

[edit]

Castlegregory v An Ghaeltacht West Kerry Semi-final 2021

In the first semi-final, Abha Na Scáil lost to Daingean Uí Chúis on a scoreline of 0-05 to 1-15. The game was played in Paddy Kennedy Memorial Park and the home side, Dingle, scored a goal inside the opening five minutes. At half-time, Dingle led 1–10 to 0–3 with the rate of scoring slowing down for both sides in the second half, albeit that Dingle managed to extend their advantage by a further two points at the finish to win by 13 points.[2]

In the second semi-final, An Ghaeltacht defeated Caisléan Ghriaire by 2-04 to 1-06. This semi-final was a more competitive affair,[original research?] with An Gaeltacht "squeaking out" a single point win away from home. A first half goal for Castlegregory's Maurice O’Connell meant that Castle carried a lead at the break 1–5 to 0–2. Second half goals from Shane Ó Grifín and Pádraig Óigí Ó Sé helped turn the tide, however, and An Ghaeltacht advanced to the final.[citation needed]
