Muinebheag, Myshall, Barrow Rangers and Dicksboro are all in Leinster camogie action this weekend and there’s plenty at stake too.
Saturday begins with two local sides on opposite ends of the intermediate club championship semi-finals.
Barrow Rangers, Kilkenny intermediate champions, are getting a good rattle at the Leinster championships. While they looked shaky in the first half against a resilient Camross last time out, they showed glimpses in the second half of what drove them to the intermediate title.
Against St. Rynagh’s, they’ll have their hands full as the Offaly side previously brushed aside Myshall in Leinster before taking the provincial crown and ultimately the All-Ireland crown.
It might well be a tight encounter, but whatever way it falls, we’ll be there for full coverage beginning 1.25pm.
At the same time we’ll also bring you updates from Naomh Eoin as Myshall welcome Kilmessan to Carlow. Given the way they played in their quarter-final, there’s every possibility we’ll see Myshall walk away with the win but it will be an exciting encounter all the same.
With a place in the provincial decider at stake, we’re expecting big things from both local sides.
Sunday
Muinebheag’s Leinster journey continues on Sunday afternoon as they play host to Raharney of Westmeath at McGrath Park.
They did well in the previous round with a 1-16 to 1-5 win over. If you’re in the Bagenalstown area, you’ll do well to get to McGrath Park for a 1.30pm throw-in and fill the hill.
Our big focus on Sunday with thanks to RMC Construction is the Leinster senior decider between Kilkenny champions Dicksboro and defending provincial and All-Ireland champions Oulart The Ballagh of Wexford.
It’s a game largely of youth vs experience, though Dicksboro showed they can mix things up following a good showing against Dublin’s St. Jude’s a fortnight ago. They needed to grit out the second half and pulled away in the closing minutes of the game to book a place in Sunday’s final.
Oulart may be fancied, but Dicksboro are county champions for a reason and will be heading to Abbottstown to give their all in our live feature.
Throw-in there is at 2pm and the game will be available on our Kilkenny frequencies and online here at Scoreline.ie.
