GYMCO Antrim Junior Football Championship
St Comgall’s v Agnes in Glenavy
Last year’s beaten finalists St Comgall’s Antrim are aiming to go one better this term with St. Agnes the side hoping to stop them reaching this year’s final.
St. Comgall’s looked on the way to the league title this term before falling at the penultimate hurdle and that should push them to even greater efforts in the championship.
St Agnes have been there or thereabouts in this grade for a while now and the Woodlands residents have been in good form this season.
They finished just behind table toppers Rasharkin in their group, well clear of the chasing pack.
The Antrim men will start this one as firm favourites and although the Aggies will lack for nothing in effort a win for Adrian Dougan’s men looks probable.
Toome
St Mary’s Rasharkin v Patrick Pearses
This could be a close one as Toome hosts this semi-final between Pearses and St. Mary’s Rasharkin in a repeat of this year’s Division 3 league final.
Rasharkin topped their qualifying group unbeaten and the Dreen side will start as favourite after beating Sunday’s opponents in the league final but that one was close and there might not be too much between them again on Sunday.
Pearses have gained in stature this term and have done well in both league and championship. The North Belfast men finished just behind St Comgall’s in the qualifiers but Rasharkin will enter this one as slight favourites but Pearses will not go down without a fight and little may separate them at conclusion.
That Leauge final in Ahoghill earlier in the season will see the men from Dreen going in as favourites, but Pearses are a very capable outfit who will fancy their chances of gaining revenge.
