Team news: St Brendans and Clontarf to battle it out for All-Ireland Intermediate final spot

All Ireland Intermediate Club Championship Semi Final

Sunday November 18

St Brendans, Ballygar (Galway) (H) v Clontarf (Dublin); Duggan Park, Ballinasloe, 1pm

Clontarf make the trip from the capital to take on Galway outfit St Brendans in an attractive All-Ireland Intermediate semi-final.

Clontarf finally landed the county crown after losing three previous finals, and their victory over Cuala in the Dublin decider was a landmark breakthrough.

Clontarf kicked on from there to capture the Leinster title and now they stand just an hour away from a possible All-Ireland Final appearance.

Former international soccer star Siobhan Killeen is a forward to watch out for in the Clontarf ranks while fellow county panellists Kate Fitzgibbon and Katie Murray also won TG4 All-Ireland senior medals with Dublin in September.

Interestingly, Clontarf also have former Irish Women’s Rugby team captain Fiona Coghlan on the bench.

Hosts St Brendans can call up on the experienced Rebecca McPhilibin at the heart of their defence and the Galway girls showed ominous form in the Connacht championship.

Both teams boast lovely blends of youth and experience and considering that the intermediate grade produced a classic All-Ireland Final in 2017, when Dunboyne edged a pulsating tie with Kinsale, this could be another cracking fixture in the grade.
