TG4 Leinster Intermediate Championship – Semi-Finals

 

Kildare v Wexford; St Conleth’s Park, Newbridge, 2pm 

 

A slot in the Leinster Intermediate Championship Final would represent significant progress for Kildare and Wexford.

Kildare saw off the challenge of Longford to make the last four, while Wexford had a bye.

A competitive championship game will stand Kildare in good stead, while home ground is another advantage, but Wexford have bags of experience in their team.

Kerry native Bernie Breen is still going strong in the middle of the park and with Kildare captain Grace Clifford in the Lilywhites’ engine room, this sector of the field will be crucial.

Neasa Dooley was named on the Lidl Division 3 Team of the League and is a dangerous forward, while Wexford will hope that the likes of Chloe Foxe and Tara Doyle will fire the attacking bullets for the Slaneysiders.

Meath v Wicklow; Páirc Tailteann, Navan, 2pm 

 

Meath won’t need reminding that Wexford stunned them in the 2018 TG4 Leinster quarter-final.

If forewarned is forearmed, then we can expect a big performance from Meath this time.

In Division 3 of the Lidl National League, Meath beat Wicklow by 1-18 to 3-6, before the Royals went on to lift the divisional crown.

Beaten TG4 All-Ireland intermediate finalists in 2018, Meath have been in excellent form this year, and they beat last year’s Leinster Champions Laois in the provincial quarter-finals.

Wicklow had to battle hard for their quarter-final victory over Offaly, and they’ll start as underdogs against Meath. 

Meath team: 

1	Monica McGuirk	Duleek/Bellewstown
2	Katie Newe	Ratoath
3	Sarah Powderly	Navan O’Mahonys
4	Orlaith Duff	Dee Rangers
5	Aoibhin Cleary	Donaghmore/Ashbourne
6	Shauna Ennis	Na Fianna
7	Megan Thynne	Dunsany
8	Máire O’Shaughnessy	Donaghmore/Ashbourne
9	Kate Byrne	Duleek/Bellewstown
10	Aoibheann Leahy	Navan O’Mahonys
11	Emma Duggan	Dunboyne
12	Orla Byrne	Duleek/Bellewstown
13	Emma White	St Patricks
14	Kelsey Nesbitt	Simonstown
15	Vikki Wall	Dunboyne

Wicklow team: 

1	Kim Connors	Blessington
2	Sarah Jane Winders	Baltinglass
