THERE’LL BE GALWAY, Kilkenny and Derry clubs in action in next month’s AIB All-Ireland club hurling finals after today’s semi-finals action.
After Kilkenny’s Bennettsbridge saw off Clare’s Wolfe Tones yesterday in the intermediate semi-final in Banagher, eyes turned to Navan for the identity of their opponents.

It was Galway’s Abbeyknockmoy who seized the chance by claiming a 1-13 to 0-9 victory at Páirc Tailteann against Antrim’s Creggan Kickhams.
At the break Creggan were narrowly in front 0-7 to 0-6 and then notched the first point of the second-half. But Abbeyknockmoy took over with Paul and Brian Flaherty notching vital points before Craig Kennedy struck the all-important goal to seal their success.
The final will take place on Sunday 7 February in Croke Park and will be preceded by the junior final meeting of Kilkenny’s Glenmore and Derry’s Eoghan Rua.
Goals were key for Glenmore with their 3-10 to 1-11 success over Cork’s Dungourney at the Waterford IT Sports Campus in Carriganore.
Alan Murphy, brother of Kilkenny senior Eoin, raised two green flags as Glenmore went in front 2-5 to 0-4 at the break. Mark Aylward hit the insurance third goal for Glenmore in the second-half while Dungourney did hit the net late on courtesy of a Shane Casey free.
Elsewhere Eoghan Rua were 0-10 to 0-4 victors over Galway club Sylane at Ballyshannon.
