Provincial finals to take centre stage on massive weekend of club action

 

THERE’S another huge weekend of club fixtures in store, with provincial finals down for decision across the four provinces.

Connacht holders Kilkerrin-Clonberne (Galway) put their Senior title on the line against Roscommon outfit Kilbride, while Foxrock-Cabinteely from Dublin aim for a fifth successive Leinster title, in a repeat of last year’s Final with Laois side Sarsfields.

In Ulster, Monaghan stars Donaghmoyne will aim to retain their Senior title when they take on Termon from Donegal, with Munster and All-Ireland Senior Champions Mourneabbey from Cork aiming for six-in-a-row in the province, when they meet Waterford’s Ballymacarbry in a third successive Munster Final.

There are also crucial fixtures down for decision in the Junior and Intermediate grades, including All-Ireland Quarter-Final matches, with St Nathy’s (Sligo) and CL McHales (Mayo) facing trips across the water.
