After a weekend of hurling championship it’s down to the football tonight with games in the Intermediate Football Championship.
IFC GROUP 1 – 7.15pm
St. Teresa’s v Ardoyne
St. Teresa’s and Ardoyne get the action underway in Group 1 at MhicDhomhnaill/UiDhoctirtigh Park with the home side favourites to win that one. St. Teresa’s finished second in division 2 of the league while Ardoyne were relegated to division 3
IFC GROUP 1 – 7.15pm
Rasharkin v St. Paul’s
The action continues in Group 1 when St. Paul’s travel to Dreen to take on Rasharkin and while they will not get it easy I would expect division 2 league winners, St. Paul’s to edge that one. Rasharkin did enough to maintain their division 2 status and will be no pushover in the championship and are likely to push the Shaw’s Road outfit to the wire.
IFC GROUP 2 – 7.15pm
All Saints v Gort na Mona
The only division 1 team competing in this year’s Intermediate Championship, All Saints get this year’s Group 2 campaign underway as they entertain Gort na Mona. The Ballymena side enjoyed a good division 1 campaign this year, finishing third while Gort na Mona struggled in division 2.
All Saints should get their campaign off to a winning start but their opponents, Gort na Mona are an experienced side and are capable of much better than their league form suggests.
IFC GROUP 2
Sarsfield’s V Davitt’s – 7.15pm
The meeting of Sarsfield’s and Davitt’s at the Bear Pit could well prove to be the tightest game of tonight’s fixtures with the ‘Paddies’ buoyed by a great opening win over Cushendun in last weekend’s Intermediate Hurling championship. Quite a number of those players could be back in action tonight against a Davitt’s side who finished above them in division 2 of the league and this one could go either way.
