Doherty Woodshavings Antrim Intermediate final

Saturday 1pm in Ballymena: 

Geraldine’s Portglenone v Brídíní Óga Glenravel

Glenravel Camogs bid to make it an Intermediate double when they take on Portglenone in Saturday’s Intermediate Camogie final in Ballymena. Having won the Intermediate Football title at the expense of St Gall’s last weekend, what is practically the same line out against the Geraldine’s.

Portglenone have a fantastic record in Antrim Camogie, producing a series of championship winning teams over the years, but recently they have struggled to match the teams in the top division. Last year they made the decision to compete and Intermediate level and though last season it failed to pay dividends, it has been a different story this year. A good win over St John’s in the opening game got them away to a great start and they really hit the heights in the semi-final when they beat a really fancied Tir na nOg team by eight points.

Glenravel caused a shock in the quarter final when they beat Loughgiel, a team that had beaten them regularly in recent years. That win gave them a boost and in the semi-final they accounted for Cargin at Whitehill. That was a real tough battle that could have gone either way, but two late goals from their elusive corner forward Aimee Traynor in the last ten minutes swung it Glenravel’s way.

This is a hard one to call. If Glenravel can produce that form of the last quarter again Cargin then they are in with a good chance, but if Portglenone show the form that got them past Tir na nOg in their semi-final they must be in with a great chance of getting back on the trophy trail.
