Coolderry are into the Offaly Senior Hurling Championship semi-finals after emerging from a back and forth contest against Shinrone.

In the championship's other quarter final, St Rynagh's got the better of Birr by 0-20 to 0-17.

That means Rynagh's progress to face Ballinamere in the semi-finals, while Coolderry will have to beat the defending champions, Kilcormac-Killoughey if they're to make a county final.
