Carrickmacross ladies will face St Judes this Sunday in the Junior all Ireland semi final. Having won a maiden Ulster title back in November of 2021, the Monaghan champions have had a long wait to enter the All Ireland series with their opposition having been involved in a quarter final last weekend when they overcame the English champions Tir Na nOg. It has been an historic championship journey for the South Monaghan club and manager Gerry Winters noted that under age success over the years was now contributing to their excellent run at senior level
St Judes (Dublin) v Carrickmacross (Monaghan); St Margarets, 1pm
St Judes have been going great guns in both codes and their attention for this weekend is firmly set on a currentaccount.ie All-Ireland semi-final appearance. St Judes put Tír na nÓg, the British champions from Newcastle, to the sword in the quarter-finals and now face a stiffer test from Carrickmacross, the Monaghan and Ulster champions. Dublin camogie star Hannah Hegarty is a stand-out name on the St Judes team, while the Carrick ladies had Monaghan’s Sarah Capaldi to thank for their dramatic Ulster Final victory over Tyrone outfit Moortown. Capaldi’s late free secured the win for the Farney County representatives, and the next step on their journey is a visit to the capital.
