Final berths up for grabs in Antrim

ANTRIM SENIOR CHAMPIONSHIP SEMI-FINALS

CREGGAN V CARGIN

Saturday, Dunsily, 5pm

THIS eagerly anticipated clash could go right to the wire. Cargin lost their stranglehold on the Antrim title with a semi-final defeat to eventual champions Creggan last year. This is the one they’ve been waiting on, but you can’t write off Creggan either.

Verdict: Cargin

PORTGLENONE V AGHAGALLON

Sunday, Dunsily, 5pm

BOTH teams will view this as a massive opportunity to advance to the final. Portglenone justified their favourites tag with a win over Gort na Mona in the quarters, while last year’s beaten finalists Aghagallon have improved after a poor league campaign.

Verdict: Portglenone

ANTRIM INTERMEDIATE CHAMPIONSHIP SEMI-FINALS

GLENRAVEL V SARSFIELDS

Saturday, Dunsilly, 1pm

GLENRAVEL have had a great campaign and are unbeaten since the start of this year’s championship. Sarsfields, meanwhile, can boast a similar tale, topping their group with three wins from three before passing their quarter-final test against St Paul’s. It’s a toughie.

Verdict: Glenravel

DAVITT’S V DUNLOY

Sunday, Dunsilly, 1pm

DAVITT’S did extremely well to claim a victory against unbeaten Glenavy in the last eight. Opponents Dunloy have had a fine campaign and qualified for the semi-finals with a two-point win over Aldergrove.

Verdict: Dunloy

ANTRIM JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP SEMI-FINALS

O’DONNELLS V EIRE OG

Saturday, Pauic MacRuairi, 3pm

EIRE Og did well to nab a win against Laocha Loch Loa in the quarters, their third win over that team this season. Maybe they can take the next step and reach the final.

Verdict: Eire Og

ST MALACHY’S V NA PIARSAIGH

Saturday, Cherryvale, 3pm

PEARSES justified their favourites tag with a win over St Agnes in the quarter-finals. St Malachy’s have also defeated St Agnes back in the group stages. A tough one to call.

Verdict: St Malachy’s
