INTERMEDIATE FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP SEMI-FINAL
Dominics face Championship favourites Strokestown in the Semi-Final on this Sunday 12 th Sept in Tulsk at 6pm. Dominics had a gread victory over Boyle in the quarter final due mainly to a great first half performance and if they can reproduce that over the hour then they can certainly upset the odds and launch themselves back into a County Final and perhaps go one step further than last Year. Come along and support the lads at the weekend as they have put in a huge effort all Year.
