Clubs chasing Croker dream

THREE counties will be targeting rare doubles at Croke Park this weekend when the finals of the Intermediate and Junior hurling and football All-Ireland championships take centre stage at HQ.

Galway are represented in both codes with city side St Michael’s attempting to keep the Intermediate football title in the west following the success of Moycullen last year while Cappataggle compete in the hurling equivalent.

“Our neighbours Moycullen won it last year and Caherlistrane got to the All-Ireland final two years before that so the standard is very strong in Galway,” said St Michael’s captain Greg Rogan.
