AIB Leinster Club Intermediate Hurling Championship 2023 - Semi Final - Bray Emmets v Naomh Mearnog (Sat, Nov 25th 2023, 1:30 pm – 2:30 pm)

Extremely excited for this one. From talking to a member of bray who was saying there eyeing up an all Ireland. Still bad feelings about how they lost the semi to monaleen last year

Bray Full Forward is a hand full for any FB line, excellent on the frees too. Aughrim is like a muddy cow pasture this time of year, a difficult venue to play a running game

I think this will be a step too far for Mearnóg unfortunately. It's a shame that they are missing Hendricken & Phelan as two more high quality players who big men would really make the difference this time of year.

I see Mearnóg also have to play Fingallians in a promotion playoff this weekend which isn't ideal in terms of picking up injuries.

Moorehouse a very decent hurler especially at that level, would need watching

He was excellent against Barrog last year...NM will do well to limit him from play and placed balls.

Echelon Park! Mother of god.

I wonder are NM sorry now that they "Failed" to bother playing that promotion playoff last week ?

Well done to Bray but I think Thomastown will be too strong for them in the final.

Not yet but they might be when championship rolls arounds next year.

Thomastown will win tthe all iireland. Very strong team

Thomastown scored 4-25 in the Kilkenny Intermediate Final last year ... and lost - AET. They had lost 3 of the previous 4 Inter finals so were due a title. Also have John Donnelly. The team to beat alright.
