Neighbours and deadly rivals, Sarsfields and St. Paul’s must be sick of the sight of each other. They have met in the Intermediate hurling and football championships recently and on Tuesday night they faced each other again in the U19B Hurling Championship quarter-final at Dunsilly.

There hasn’t been a lot between them in any of these meetings and that was the case again at Dunsilly in this U19 clash with Sarsfields threatening to run away with it at one stage.

The Paddies led 0-11 to 0-3 at half time and looked on their way to a comfortable win but their Shaw’s Road neighbours came back strongly with two goals to close the gap to one at one stage and threatened to grab the semi-final spot.

Sarsfield’s pushed on to win by five in the end and book a semi-final spot against Ruairi Og’s, Cushendall this Sunday as a great season for the Stewartstown Road club continues.

Sarsfield’s have already qualified for the final of the Intermediate Hurling championship where they will meet Kickham’s Creggan next weekend and will be hoping that the ‘feel good factor’ that exists within the club continues.

Great friend of the Saffron Gael and superb photographer, John Lawell was there to capture the best of the action
