In Intermediate , four strong teams fight dogged battles in the race for senior status. Interestingly, all four semi finalists came from the same group.
A tough one to call is the clash between Starlights and Glynn Barntown . For the Enniscorthy town side, John Hudson, Ricky Fox and Tommy Foley perform well. Their Wexford district opponents have star men like Sean Carmody, Mark Fanning and Alan Cowman. With the Starlights impressively beating Ferns, it looks as if they could edge ahead of Glynn Barntown.
St James' and Ballyhogue fight for the other final spot. As tabletoppers, St James' have shone all through championship thanks to Graeme Molloy, Donal Barron and Brendan Doyle. Syl Byrne, Richard Dunne and Séan Ring convey strength for Ballyhogue with Byrne snatching a last gasp point in the quarter final to beat Bunclody by the minimum. St James' play a good brand of football and their style should see off the Bree natives.
In Intermediate A Football, a duo of competitive clashes remain. St Patrick's Park hosts this encounter between Marshalstown and St Fintans . Marshalstown's main scorers include Michéal Jordan, Michael Hughes and Frank Kelly while Conor Sinnott, Niall Moore and Donal Shanley are key players for the Fintan's. Marshalstown's strength seems to be the difference between the sides; an upset would be unsurprising.
A complicated clash lies between Naomh Eanna and Geraldine O’Hanrahan's . Naomh Eanna remain unbeaten but have not managed to beat any team by a large margin. Geraldine O Hanrahan's are strong men and they boast senior football regular Shane Roche, Derek Butler and Mark Rellis. For Gorey, Darragh McDonald, David O' Brien and Sean Doyle commit great effort and flair to their team. Naomh Eanna are great fighters for victory but a New Ross win cannot be dismissed entirely.
It’s these types of games that are set to make championships memorable. Be there to enjoy the intensity as the semi final stages set the championship alight. Aren’t the weekends savoured more nowadays with the GAA dominating the lives of many? Enjoy yourself, let yourself go! FBALL sept8-9 VERS EIGHT_Layout 1 06/09/2012 11:00 Page 16
