An individual tally of 1-11 from 2016 'Hurler of the Year' Austin Gleeson wasn't sufficient as Mount Sion bowed of the Waterford SHC at the quarter-final stage today.

A strong wind-assisted second-half performance saw De La Salle run out impressive 5-17 to 1-16 winners in the first game of today's last eight triple header at Walsh Park.

The winners led by 1-7 to 0-8 at the halfway stage and, despite Gleeson's best efforts, pulled away after the resumption.

De La Salle's reward is a semi-final date with Abbeyside, who overcame Tallow by 2-22 to 0-10 yesterday, while holders Ballygunner will take on Passage East.

Gleeson's county team-mate Pauric Mahony raised nine white flags in Ballygunner's 1-16 to 1-13 success over Roanmore today while Passage East ran out comfortable 5-18 to 0-15 winners over Dungarvan this evening.
