It was 1-6 apiece at the break, but the Mills cruised to victory and straight into the Quarter-Finals.

Also into the last eight are Ballyea, who won a close contest against Inagh/Kilnamona.

The combo outfit led at half-time in the second game at the County Grounds, but Ballyea fought back to win 0-17 to 0-13.

Also yesterday, Tubber and Sixmilebridge beat Tulla and Kilmaley respectively, to avoid the relegation playoff.

Scariff lost their senior status by virtue of a six-point loss to St. Joseph's Doora-Barefield while Wolfe Tones and Whitegate played out a draw.

Today, at 1 o'clock, Clonlara take on Clooney-Quin in Sixmilebridge while Newmarket on Fergus are playing Clarecastle in Cusack Park.

At the same time, Eire Og face Ruan in the Senior B, while this evening at 6:30 Cratloe face Crusheen in a game which will decide the winners of Group 3.
