Action from Drumcullen v Seir Kieran. Picture Aoife Maher
THE draw has been made for the semi-finals of the Molloy Precast and Environmental Systems Intermediate Hurling Championship.
Championship favourites Shamrocks will meet Birr while St Rynagh's take on Drumcullen.
Shamrocks and St Rynagh's were seeded into separate semi-finals after winning their groups. A strong looking Birr side powered past Shinrone while a fancied Drumcullen clicked in the second half to beat Seir Kieran in the quarter-finals this weekend.
Shamrocks have been the form team so far but every team left will fancy their chances. Shamrocks could be down one of their key players, former county hurler David O'Toole-Greene who went off early on with a shoulder injury in their recent Senior Football Championship defeat by Tullamore.
Birr will definitely be without one of their most important players, their goalkeeper and captain, Adam Fitzgerald. He played in their quarter-final win over Shinrone on Thursday evening but the senior management made the huge call of bringing him up to their senior side for their great win over Ballinamere, dropping Sean Thompson who had played in all their earlier games.
It means that the intermediates now will have to find a goalkeeper but irrespective of the rights and wrongs of replacing Thompson and this is being debated by their supporters, Birr are absolutely right to give priority to their first team.
