KILDAREโ€™S NAAS, KERRYโ€™S Na Gaeil and Cavanโ€™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 Wexfordโ€™s Oylegate-Glenbrien at St Conlethโ€™s Park in Newbridge.

They now advance to an All-Ireland semi-final meeting with Mayoโ€™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-Glenbrienโ€™s goal.

In Munster there was glory again for the Kerry champions at intermediate football level, Na Gaeil storming past Clareโ€™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 Derryโ€™s Steelstown Brian ร“gs. The Kerry side are an extremely strong outfit with county players Jack Barry, Diarmuid Oโ€™Connor and Stefan Okunbor all in action.

Oโ€™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 Oโ€™Loughlin scored Corofinโ€™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 Brendanโ€™s of Manchester by 3-16 to 2-6 this afternoon. Next up for them is an All-Ireland semi-final clash with Kerryโ€™s Gneeveguilla, who won the Munster title yesterday.
