KILDARE’S NAAS, KERRY’S Na Gaeil and Cavan’s Denn were all celebrating victories today that propel them into the All-Ireland club series this month.

Naas struck a major blow for Kildare hurling as they landed the Leinster intermediate title, running out 3-12 to 1-11 victors over Wexford’s Oylegate-Glenbrien at St Conleth’s Park in Newbridge.

They now advance to an All-Ireland semi-final meeting with Mayo’s Tooreen next Sunday afternoon.

Jack Sheridan (2-4), Cathal Dowling (1-2) and Brian Byrne (0-4) were the chief scorers for the Kildare club, while Podge Doran bagged Oylegate-Glenbrien’s goal.

In Munster there was glory again for the Kerry champions at intermediate football level, Na Gaeil storming past Clare’s Corofin in Mallow as they triumphed by 6-14 to 1-12.

The 2019 All-Ireland junior champions will now contest the national semi-final at intermediate level as they face Derry’s Steelstown Brian Ógs. The Kerry side are an extremely strong outfit with county players Jack Barry, Diarmuid O’Connor and Stefan Okunbor all in action.

O’Connor and Jack Bourke netted in the first half for a Na Gaeil team that were in front 2-4 to 0-7 at half-time. They outscored their opponents 3-8 to 0-1 in the third quarter and ran out victors by 18 points with Jack Sheehan and Darragh Carmody both bagging two goals apiece in the second half.

Damien O’Loughlin scored Corofin’s only goal while Clare senior Jamie Malone (0-4) and Gearoid Cahill (0-5) chipped in with points for them.

And in Ulster, Cavan side Denn won the twinning football final against St Brendan’s of Manchester by 3-16 to 2-6 this afternoon. Next up for them is an All-Ireland semi-final clash with Kerry’s Gneeveguilla, who won the Munster title yesterday.
