Thirty-four teams have advanced to the AIG All-Ireland inter-club finals after a weekend of area finals around the country, including two from Mayo.

In the AIG Men’s Jimmy Bruen Shield, all eight finalists were confirmed for Slieve Russell in September. Leinster Central champions Wexford were the biggest winners of the weekend, defeating Palmerstown House 4-1.

Connacht winners Ballinrobe as well as Clontarf, Coollattin, East Cork, Ballykisteen, Fortwilliam and Killmoon will join Wexford in the final eight.

Fintona remain in with a chance of retaining the AIG Women’s Challenge Cup. The Tyrone club won the Ulster North Area Final, defeating Ballycastle 4-1. Tubbercurry, Cill Dara, Headfort, Greystones, Tipperary, Adare Manor and Tandgaree will join them in Slieve Russell.

Cill Dara will be represented by two teams in Slieve Russell, with the Kildare club also winning the AIG Women’s Minor Cup. They defeated Rathdowney 4-1 in the Area Final. Cill Dara will be joined by the Connacht champions, Westport, as well as Ardee, Castle, Mallow, Ballyneety, Greenacres and Rockmount.

Six teams advanced from the AIG Women’s Senior Foursomes Area Finals, as Roscommon, Kilkenny, Royal Tara, Elm Park, Mallow and Ballybunion move on to the All-Ireland finals.

Two area finals took place in the AIG Women’s Junior Foursomes as Dunmurry and Killymoon booked their spots in Tramore in early September.

In the AIG Women’s Intermediate Cup, Edmondstown won the Leinster South Final, while Wicklow won the Men’s Fred Perry in Leinster South.
