Semi-final time in Ulster

WE will know who will contest the Ulster Intermediate final after Sunday’s semi-finals.

TG4 Ulster Intermediate Championship semi-finals – Sunday

Tyrone v Down; Thomas Clarke’s, Dungannon, 2pm

A repeat of last year’s TG4 Intermediate semi-final pits Tyrone against Down.

This time, it’s in the Ulster Championship and there’s a final place at stake.

Tyrone have Lidl NFL Division 1 experience from this year to call upon but Down are the provincial champions.

Tyrone had to survive a fierce test from Fermanagh last weekend before advancing on a 4-11 to 3-11 scoreline.

Tyrone: A Coyle; J Lyons, G McKenna, E Quinn; C Canavan, C Campbell, S McCarroll; M Mallon, A McHugh (capt.); M Moore, S Gormley, A Horisk; A McGahan, C McCrossan, N O’Neill.

Down: C Byrne; A Greene, C McCreanor, N McClory; C Mulvenna (capt.), A Brogan, A Sands; M Doherty, A Laverty; E Fitzpatrick, L Duffy, A Smyth; N King, N Rice, E Hicks.

Monaghan v Cavan; Éire Óg, Smithboro, 2pm

Monaghan lost out in last year’s provincial final and will be anxious to go one step better this time.

But they’ll have it all to do against a Cavan side on the rise.

The Breffni County landed the Lidl National League Division 3 title recently and will be high on confidence.

Monaghan won three of their seven outings in Division 2 of the Lidl NFL and this one could go right to the wire.

Monaghan: O Kelly; C Brennan, S Brady, A Loughman; G Hanratty, J Duffy, A Garland (capt.); A Burns, N Flannigan; C Kelly, L Garland, C Treanor; L Connolly, E Sherry, L Maguire.

Cavan: E Baugh; L Crowe, S Kelly, E Corcoran; M Sheridan, S Lynch (capt.), S Greene; M Fitzpatrick, A Deneher; E Brady, L McVeety, C Dolan; N Keenaghan, A Sheridan, A Gilsenan.
