LGFA - PTSB Senior Club Championship Rd 4 Previews

PTSB SFC Group A:

Fingallians v Na Fianna, Ref: Gavin Donegan, Venue: Lawless Memorial Park, 18:45pm.

Na Fianna will travel to Swords on Wednesday evening to take on a Fingallians outfit who have struggled to find their form to date in the championship. Na Fianna with two wins under their belts will mostly likely prove too strong an opponent for the home team.

PTSB SFC Group A:

O’Dwyers v Cuala, Ref: Finbarr Shanahan, Venue: Bremore Park, 19:30pm.

O’Dwyers bounced back to form with a good win over Fingallians in round three. This week they take on a Cuala side who have yet to secure a victory in the championship. Home advantage could tip the result of this encounter in favour of the Balbriggan based club.

PTSB SFC Group A:

Kilmacud Crokes v Clontarf, Ref: Ray McBride, Venue: Pairc de Burca, 20:00pm.

This fixture could well be an early dress rehearsal for the final with reigning champions Kilmacud Crokes welcoming top of the table Clontarf to Pairc de Burca. Both teams coming into round four unbeaten and a victory on Wednesday could seal a crucial home semi-final for the winners.

PTSB SFC Group B:

Pobal Parnell A v Castleknock, Ref: Kevin O Donnell, Venue: Chanel, 18:45pm.

Last season’s Intermediate champions Pobal Parnell currently prop up the group B table having registered two defeats so far in the competition. Their latest opponents Castleknock showed great determination to earn a draw with Ballyboden St Endas in round one while also running St Sylvesters close last week. This has the makings on another close encounter.

PTSB SFC Group B:

Ballyboden St Endas v St Sylvesters, Ref: John Doherty, Venue: Pairc Ui Mhurchu, 18:45pm.

Another top of the table clash. Ballyboden St Endas bounced back from their opening round tie with Castleknock to then demolish both Pobal Parnell and Thomas Davis in the next two championship outings. St Sylvesters are many people’s favourites to dethrone champions Kilmacud Crokes this season. Can Ballyboden St Endas cause an upset and hold onto the top spot in group B.

Elsewhere the PTSB Intermediate and Junior A championships continue.

St Maurs and Raheny currently top the Intermediate group A table on six points each. In group B St Brigids and Lucan Sarsfields are in poll position with two wins from two games played.

Foxrock Cabinteely v St Maurs, Ref: Sinead McHugh, Venue: Kilboggett Park, 18:45; St Judes v Scoil Ui Chonaill, Ref: Adam Kelly, Venue: Tymon North, 18:45.
