McCarthy Insurance Group Football Championship Semi-Finals Take Centre Stage This Weekend

The McCarthy Insurance Group Football Championship Semi-Finals take centre stage this weekend with some mouth-watering matchups across the county.

Saturday, October 11th

At SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh, Cill na Martra will face Éire Óg, followed by Béal Átha’n Ghaorthaidh taking on Knocknagree.

In the Premier Intermediate Football Championship, Páirc Uí Rinn will host the meeting of Uibh Laoire and Aghada, while Naomh Abán face Aghabullogue in Macroom.

The Intermediate A Football Championship sees a West Cork clash in Bantry between neighbours Adrigole and Ilen Rovers.

In the Premier Junior Football Championship, Buttevant meet Canovee in Glantane, while St. Nick’s travel to Carrigtwohill to take on Cobh.

Also on Saturday, Carbery Rangers and Valley Rovers meet again in the relegation play-off at Enniskeane. Their last encounter two weeks ago ended level both at full time and after extra time — meaning it’s all to play for this weekend.

Sunday, October 12th

Attention turns to the Premier Senior Football Championship Semi-Finals, with a double-header at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh. First up, Nemo Rangers face Newcestown, followed by St. Finbarr’s against Ballincollig in the second game of the day.

Meanwhile, Éire Óg GAA Club in Ovens will host the Intermediate A Football Championship semi-final between Kilmurry and Ballinora.
