The Roscommon and District League will have two representatives in the Connacht shield semi-finals.
Cloonfad United had a home game against Galway Championship side Dynamo Blues.
Cloonfad played with the wind in the first-half. However, they had a lucky break in the first minute when the Tuam side missed the easiest of chances.
On seven minutes, Conor Flynn opened the scoring collecting a long throw before finishing to the net. Four minutes before the break, Reece Ryan equalised. Within a minute Conor Ruane restored the Cloonfad lead.
Playing against the wind in the second-half, Neil Morris made it 3–1 on 63 miinutes. Conor Flynn added his second eight minutes later.
Any hope of a comeback by the Tuam side were after two players were sent-off late-on.
Ballinagare/Manor United make Connacht cup semi-final
Ballinagare/Manor United travelled to the Sligo/Leitrim premier division side Dromahair F.C. Roscommon and District League division one side came out on top on 4–3 after extra-time.
It’s the first time in the club’s history to make a Connacht semi-final. Ballinagare/Manor raced into a 3–0 lead. However, the hosts never gave up and levelled the game with twelve minutes of normal time remaining.
Both teams had chances to win the game in extra-time before a stunning Jay McCartney free-kick with two minutes remaining won the game for Ballinagare/Manor Utd.

On 50 minutes, prolific scorer Gerry Ward made it 3–0 with a neat flick over the keeper.

Roscommon & District League premier division
Castlerea Celtic and Ballinasloe Town drew 2–2 in their Premier Division game.
The fixture was moved to Boyle due to weather conditions, but it was Ballinasloe Town who were quickest to adapt to the changed venue.
Dylan Keane and Garry Egan gave them a 2–0 lead with just 15 minutes played and they were unlucky not to score a third with the ball coming back off the Castlerea cross-bar.
Castlerea gradually improved but it was not until the second-half when they looked like getting back into the game.
Calum Pacey pulled a goal back on 70 minutes and 10 minutes later Frank Hester volleyed over the Ballinasloe Town keeper to equalise.
The teams will meet again in a couple of weeks time with the winners of that game likely to avoid relegation to Division 1.
