Intermediate final to be played in Tralee
T
The Intermediate Championship final between Glenflesk and Kilcummin will be played this Sunday, May 6 at 4pm in Austin Stack Park. Locals had been hoping that Fitzgerald Stadium would be the chosen venue but the massive, all-East Kerry decider will instead form part of a double-header with the Junior Premier final in Tralee.
The clubs, who recently collaborated on the novel Oskars fundraiser, both impressed in their respective semi-finals this past weekend despite being underdogs, and will now face each other with senior status – and a potential crack at the Intermediate All-Ireland – on the line.
Glenflesk eventually ran out six-point winners against a Bryan Sheehan-inspired St Mary’s in Killorglin on Saturday, while a cracking Kevin McCarthy goal helped Kilcummin to come out the right side of a one-point game against Templenoe on Sunday. It will be Glenflesk’s first Intermediate final in 19 years. Kilcummin will be trying to make an immediate return to senior level having been relegated in 2017.
Be sure to check out our extensive preview of the Intermediate Championship final in this week’s Killarney Advertiser.
