The Emo and Athenry captains ahead of the Minor Ladies final.

Athenry retain Minor Ladies title after epic extra-innings final

Athenry Retain GAA Rounders Minor Ladies Championship After Epic Final

Athenry (Galway) held their nerve in extra innings to defeat Emo (Laois) after a thrilling day at the Meath Centre of Excellence in Dunganny on Saturday, 16 August.

The GAA Rounders Minor Ladies Championship lit up the Meath Centre of Excellence in Dunganny on Saturday, August 16th, as three teams battled it out in blustery conditions. Defending champions Athenry of Galway faced stern challenges from Na Fianna of Dublin and Emo of Laois in what proved to be a festival of high-scoring, high-tempo rounders.

With a rock-hard outfield and a strong breeze testing both pitchers and fielders, it was always going to be a day for the batters – and the players delivered in style.

Group Stage: Runs Galore

The opening match saw Emo edge out Na Fianna in a lively encounter, 15–10, as both sides took full advantage of the conditions.

Athenry then entered the fray against Emo. After a tight opening, big hits from Aisling Kelly and Rosa Higgins pushed the Galway side into control, sealing a 17–12 victory.

Na Fianna needed a win against Athenry to stay alive, and they made the champions work hard with strong batting early on. But once Athenry settled, their experience shone through. They pulled clear to secure the win, eliminating Na Fianna and booking their place in the final.

The Final: Emo v Athenry

The stage was set for a five-innings showdown between Emo and Athenry under the afternoon sun.

Emo came flying out of the traps with power hitting from Heidi Browne and Emer Dooley, supported by superb fielding from Rachel McMahon. They stormed into a commanding 17–6 lead after the first innings.

But champions respond when it matters. Athenry rallied, taking the second 7–4 and dominating the third 12–7. Emo showed resilience in the fourth, edging it 1–0 to carry a slender 29–25 advantage into the final innings.

The pressure was on, and both sides produced drama of the highest order. Athenry batted first in the 5th, putting up 9 runs with a masterclass of placement hitting and clever base running. That set Emo the daunting task of scoring 6 for the title, or 5 to force extra innings.

The Turning Point

Emo came in to bat with everything on the line, but Athenry’s defence stood tall. Pitcher Ellen Shaughnessy, catcher Izzy Gannon, and first base Meabh Murray combined brilliantly to limit the Laois side to just 5 runs — forcing the game into extra innings.

Extra Innings: Champions Tested

Both pitchers raised their game in extras, making every run hard-earned. Athenry edged the first extra innings 2–0, then added a crucial 5 in the second.

That left Emo needing 7 to stay alive or 8 for the championship. Despite a determined effort, Athenry’s defence held firm, with their short stop shutting down key plays and catcher Izzy Gannon making a great at-the-feet catch to finish off the game. Emo’s brave challenge ended just short, and Athenry emerged victorious once again, retaining their Minor Ladies Championship crown.

A Day to Remember

It was a final befitting the occasion – packed with skill, drama, and resilience. Both teams left everything on the field, and the contest will live long in the memory for players, mentors, and supporters alike.

“This team, they just never let me down. Win or lose, they never let me down.”

— Peter Lyons, Athenry Manager

A special word of thanks goes to tournament referee Danielle Keane, who oversaw all four matches with fairness and authority, ensuring the championship ran smoothly from start to finish.

Emo’s Golden Generation: The Michael Slevin Effect Driving Rounders Glory

There’s something very special happening in Emo right now. Across all underage grades, the club is dominating the national Rounders scene — and at the heart of it all is one man: Michael Slevin.

Emo’s first All-Ireland success — U13 Girls in 2016. Four of these players now line out at adult level.

The numbers speak for themselves. Seven All-Ireland titles already secured in 2025 — including U14, U15 and U16 Girls, U13 Féile Boys, and U14, U15 and U16 Boys — with four more still up for grabs in the Minor grades and U16 Mixed. It’s a staggering haul that no other club in the country can match.

But this success hasn’t happened by accident. It’s the result of years of dedication, structure, and relentless work, much of it driven by Slevin. From chilly spring evenings to long summer sessions, he’s been the consistent force behind the scenes — coaching, guiding, and leading by example.

Leinster U14 GAA Rounder’s Champions Emo

A big part of Emo’s strength lies in the coaching team Michael has built around him. JP Tynan, Claire Suda, and Niamh Horgan are all central to the underage coaching effort, while Eva Lawlor has also played a big role in previous seasons. It’s not a case of separate coaches for separate teams — instead, it’s a collective effort, with parents and volunteers stepping in depending on their own kids’ ages. That shared responsibility, camaraderie, and teamwork among coaches has been vital. It creates consistency across all age groups and a strong community bond that shines through on the pitch.

“Also one of the main reasons for our underage success is the kids’ willingness to listen and learn,” Michael says.
“They take instruction on board and are a joy to coach. They’ve travelled all around the country playing Rounders and always play with a steely determination — but they also accept that they can lose matches too.”

Slevin is also quick to recognise the work done off the pitch.

“Our parents must be thanked for sacrificing many weekends to travel to matches,” he adds.
“Without that support, none of this would be possible.”

On the field, Slevin’s influence is clear. He’s helped create an environment where young players learn, improve, and enjoy the game. The results are obvious: disciplined fielding, clever batting, quick decision-making — and an unshakeable sense of togetherness.

Looking ahead, the club’s ambitions are crystal clear.

“Our main goal is to bring through as many underage players as possible into the adult ranks,” says Slevin.
“We’ve six or seven youngsters eligible for adult next year, with similar numbers in the years ahead.
The hope is they’ll take ownership of the club, drive it forward, and eventually send old dinosaurs like myself out to pasture —
or at least onto the sidelines, happily cheering them on.”

With four more All-Irelands still to play for, this could yet be a once-in-a-lifetime season for Emo. But win or lose from here, one thing is certain: Michael Slevin’s vision, drive, and ability to bring people with him has built something truly special in Emo — and the best may still be yet to come.

Intermediate Men’s Championship Semi-Finals

Date: Sunday, 17 August 2025 | Venue: Dunganny | Throw-in: 12:00

Galway City Rapparees vs St Clares (Cavan)

Intermediate Men’s Semi-Final

Galway City Rapparees head into the semi-finals as group winners with three wins from four and a +24 run difference.
Their standout display came against St Clares in July when they blasted 25 runs in just two innings —
ruthless batting that left no way back.

The Rapparees have married explosive hitting with disciplined defence all season. Their only setback was a one‑run loss
to Emo, 26–25 (5), showing they can be pushed but are rarely overwhelmed.

St Clares battled into the last four with key wins, including 20–4 (5) over Dublin Metropolitans.
They can post big numbers, but they must be far tighter in the field to avoid a repeat of that heavy defeat to Galway.

Prediction: Galway City Rapparees — likely to take control early if they find rhythm.

Kilmeena (Mayo) vs Emo (Laois)

Intermediate Men’s Semi-Final

Kilmeena racked up 92 runs in four games, finishing joint‑top on points with the best run difference in the group (+42).
Their only meeting with Emo ended 34–18 (3) in Kilmeena’s favour.

That result comes with an asterisk — Emo had only eight players available and were severely under strength.
At full complement they’re a different proposition, as shown by their 26–25 (5) win over Galway City Rapparees.

Kilmeena’s power hitting and solid fielding make them favourites, but they’ll be wary of a near‑full‑strength Emo with a point to prove.

Prediction: Kilmeena — margin shrinks if Emo start fast.

Intermediate Mixed Semi-Finals

Date: Sunday, 17 August 2025 | Venue: Dunganny | Throw-in: 2pm

Emo (Laois) vs Galway City Rapparees

Intermediate Mixed Semi-Final

Emo swept Group B unbeaten with a massive +59 run difference and three statement wins:
29–7 vs Na Fianna (4), 37–17 at Glynn Barntown (5), and 40–23 at Raheen (4).
They score in bursts and rarely let opponents settle.

Galway City Rapparees finished level on points with Erne in Group A, edged to second only on run rate.
Highlights included 17–10 vs St Clares (3) and a composed 6–2 away at Michael Glaveys (4).
Their 12–19 defeat to Erne came while under strength, so it’s a poor guide to their ceiling.

If Galway are full strength, their defence can slow Emo’s early surge — but they’ll need a fast start to avoid a chase.

Prediction: Emo

Erne Eagles (Cavan) vs Raheen (Wexford)

Intermediate Mixed Semi-Final

Erne topped Group A on run rate with three wins. Their headline result was a 22–20 over St Clares despite batting only
(3) innings, plus a 19–12 against Rapparees on the day Galway were short-handed.
The sole slip was 16–19 to Michael Glaveys (4).

Raheen finished second in Group B and showed steel in a 16–14 away win at Glynn Barntown (4).
Even versus Emo they posted 23, so they can score if the game opens up.

Eagles have the edge for power and experience, but Raheen’s knack for tight finishes keeps this live deep into the game.

Prediction: Erne Eagles

Intermediate Ladies Championship Semi-Finals

Date: Sunday, 17 August 2025 | Venue: Dunganny | Throw-in: 4pm

Carrickmacross Emmets (Monaghan) vs Michael Glaveys (Roscommon)

Intermediate Ladies Semi-Final

Carrickmacross Emmets arrive as unbeaten group winners, pairing deep batting with sharp infield work.
Glaveys have shown resilience in tight games and will try to keep this low-scoring and error‑free.

If Emmets settle early, their scoring pressure should tell; Glaveys need a fast start and tidy fielding to stay in range.

Prediction: Carrickmacross Emmets

The Heath (Laois) vs Glynn Barntown (Wexford)

Intermediate Ladies Semi-Final

The Heath have been consistent all season, combining disciplined batting with a well‑organised defence.
Glynn Barntown bring more attacking punch and can rack up runs quickly when the order clicks.

Expect a tight contest: The Heath’s structure versus Glynn’s scoring bursts.

Prediction: Heath

Respect the Game – Respect Each Other

👏 Cheer great catches – no shouting while a player is attempting to catch the Sliotar
⚾ Respect pitchers – tough job, big skill.
🫡 Back the refs – no arguing calls.

Play hard. Play fair. Keep it positive.

GAA Rounders Senior Previews – Semi-Finals order to be decided

Sunday, 10th August 2025 – Mullahoran GAA, Tymon & Athlone

Senior Men – Erne Eagles vs Carrickmacross Emmets

📍 Mullahoran GAA 12:30 Ref – Jack

Carrickmacross Emmets come into this one unbeaten, holding a perfect 6–0 record and an impressive +75 run difference. They’ve scored a massive 111 runs in just six games, showing they have the firepower to put teams away quickly.

Erne Eagles (5–0–1) have also been strong this season, but their scoring output — 70 runs — is notably lower. That means they’ll need to be clinical with every opportunity they get. Last week’s surprise to many defeat to Breaffy will still be fresh in their minds, and you get the feeling they’ll be well up for this one.

With top spot in the group still not certain, this has all the makings of a cracking match with plenty of niggle. But with both into semi-final it’s not as important to either team.

Prediction: Carrickmacross Emmets by 6–8 runs.

Senior Mixed – Erne Eagles vs Carrickmacross Emmets

📍 Mullahoran GAA 2pm Ref – Jack

Carrickmacross are barely in contention. By my calculations, they would need to beat Erne Eagles by something in the region of 27 runs to overtake Cuchulainn, which is a tall order. It’s another group where run rate is going to be vital in deciding the placings. Still, it shows that even when results haven’t gone your way, there’s always something left to fight for.

Erne Eagles are joint-top on points with Glynn Barntown and Breaffy, sitting at 5–0–1 with a +34 run difference. Carrickmacross (2–0–4) have found life tough against the top-tier sides, while the Eagles’ defensive record — just 49 runs conceded — speaks for itself.

Prediction: Erne Eagles by 10–12 runs with innings to spare, with Carrick unlikely to have much interest in chasing a big margin late on.

Senior Ladies – Glynn Barntown vs Breaffy

📍 Athlone – 12:30

This is a huge clash between two unbeaten sides in the Senior Ladies championship. Glynn Barntown have been rock-solid defensively, conceding only 15 runs in three games, while Breaffy boast the more explosive attack, scoring 42 runs in the same number of matches.

With top spot and valuable momentum ahead of the finals at stake, this could easily go down to the last inning.

Prediction: Low-scoring draw.

Senior Mixed – Glynn Barntown vs Breaffy

📍 Athlone – 14:00

Another heavyweight showdown in the Senior Mixed, with both sides sitting at 5–0–1 and averaging over 13 runs per game. Breaffy’s +41 run difference edges Glynn’s +34, but there’s little to separate these two on paper. Expect an attacking, high-scoring classic.

Prediction: Breaffy by 2–3 runs.

Senior Mixed – Limekiln vs The Heath

📍 Tymon Park – 14:00

Limekiln and The Heath are both 1–0–5 and fighting to avoid the wooden spoon. The Heath have conceded the most runs in the league (96) and will need to tighten up considerably to compete here. Limekiln’s slightly better scoring record (47 runs) could prove decisive.

Prediction: Limekiln by 10–12 runs.

Senior Men – Glynn Barntown vs Breaffy

📍 Athlone – 15:30

Breaffy (5–0–1) are the league’s second-best attacking side, with 104 runs scored, while Glynn Barntown (4–0–2) have been one of the more disciplined defensive outfits. Breaffy’s power hitters could prove the difference, but Glynn have enough resilience to keep it close for most of the contest. I’ve just got a sneaky feeling that Glynn Barntown are being underestimated and could be the surprise package of the senior men’s.

Prediction: Glynn Barntown by 4-5 runs.

🟥 Junior Men’s All-Ireland Semi-Finals

📍 Saturday, 9 August 2025 – Coláiste Muire Máthair, St. Mary’s Road, Galway H91 H7F8

🕐 1:00pm – Inniskeen Grattans (Monaghan) 🆚 Kilmore (Roscommon)

🧑‍⚖️ Referee: Aine McLaughlin

Inniskeen Grattans bring grit, experience, and momentum into this semi-final after edging out Carrickmacross. With strong showings in the group stages, including a tight 17–11 win over their local rivals and a narrow loss to Myshall, they’ve shown they can handle high-pressure games.

Kilmore, meanwhile, topped Group A and come in as one of the most composed sides in the Junior grade. A single-run thriller loss to Galway City Rapparees (24–23) and a 1-run win over St Senan’s (16–15) show their calmness when it counts. Their defensive discipline is their backbone — and if they manage to shut down Inniskeen’s big hitters by locking down right field, this could be over early.

🔮 Prediction: Kilmore’s outfield coverage could prove the difference — Kilmore

🕒 3:00pm – Myshall (Carlow) 🆚 St. Senan’s (Limerick)

🧑‍⚖️ Referee: Michael Slevin

Myshall were arguably the most clinical team across both groups, finishing their campaign with two powerful wins including a big win over Carrickmacross.

St. Senan’s, however, have been quietly brilliant all year. Their narrow group stage defeat to Kilmore and big win over Galway Rapparees. They’ll need to bring all their fielding sharpness to halt Myshall’s top-of-the-order hitters — but if they do, this one will go down to the wire.

🔮 Prediction: Could go either way — but on balance and form it’s St Senans

Junior Ladies All-Ireland Semi-Finals

📅 Saturday, 9 August 2025
📍 Coláiste Muire Máthair, St. Mary’s Road, Galway H91 H7F8

🕐 1:00pm – Castletown Liam Mellows (Wexford) 🆚 Elphin (Roscommon)

🧑‍⚖️ Referee: Michael Slevin

Castletown were sharp and efficient in their 18–10 quarter-final win over St. Martin’s, showing once again that they’re the most balanced side in the competition. Defensively composed and clinical at bat, the Wexford side have been top contenders since Day 1.

Elphin produced a strong performance of their own, defeating Carrickmacross 13–6 in the quarters. They’ve got plenty of grit and can frustrate sides if they stay composed — but they’ll need to find another gear to take down Castletown.

🔮 Prediction: Castletown have the edge in a lot of departments — Castletown

🕒 3:00pm – Dublin Metropolitans (Dublin) 🆚 Inniskeen Grattans (Monaghan)

🧑‍⚖️ Referee: Sean Bailey

The Mets booked their place with a controlled 15–10 win over Leighlinbridge. This Ladies side has quietly built momentum, full of athletic players who thrive in big moments.

Inniskeen overcame a determined Kilmore team 14–8 in a dogged quarter-final. They’ve shown character throughout the campaign, and while they may be underdogs, they won’t be short on fight or spirit.

🔮 Prediction: Mets too slick and too strong — Dublin

🟡 Junior Mixed All-Ireland Semi-Finals

🕐 1:00pm – Dublin Metropolitans (Dublin) 🆚 St. Senan’s (Limerick)

🧑‍⚖️ Referee: Sean Bailey

St. Senan’s have been the standout team in the grade — unbeaten, clinical, and firm favourites to go all the way. Their mix of athleticism, cohesion and consistent scoring has made them the benchmark in Junior Mixed this season. Their 14–9 quarter-final win over Wolfe Tones was another example of their composure and game control.

The Dublin Mets are no strangers to the big stage, and they’ll be buoyed by the return of their bowler who could disrupt Senans’ rhythm and shift the momentum. The Mets are powerful hitters with big-game pedigree — but they’ll need to be flawless to break down this Senans outfit.

🔮 Prediction: Senans are too slick and too steady — Senans

🕒 3:00pm – Galway City Rapparees (Galway) 🆚 Gusserane (Wexford)

🧑‍⚖️ Referee: Aine McLaughlin

The Galway City Rapparees were ruthless in their 16–8 win over Inniskeen — a clinical performance built on smart bowling, sharp defence and timely hitting. Their Junior Mixed side continues the club’s reputation for rising on big days — and playing at home only strengthens their chances.

Gusserane blitzed Kilmeena 24–6 in the quarter-final and arrive with confidence, power, and one of the best run rates in the grade. But you get the feeling they haven’t faced bowlers or a defensive setup as clever as the Rapparees all year. On their day, Gusserane can hurt anyone — but the home field advantage in Galway could be decisive.

🔮 Prediction: Expect fireworks, but the edge goes to the hosts — Rapparees

Go Games Rounders Pilot Shines in Wexford

The Go Games Rounders pilot held today at Glynn Barntown GAA Club was a fantastic success, with five teams from three clubs – St Martins, Myshall, and hosts Glynn Barntown – taking part in a brilliant day of rounders.

Go Games is all about fun, participation, and skill development – and today delivered in style.

From the first pitch to the final run, the standard of play was outstanding. Players showcased great enthusiasm, teamwork, and effort – all in the true spirit of Go Games.

Glorious weather added to the occasion, as families and supporters enjoyed the sunshine and the exciting action on the field.

“A special word of thanks to Mai Doyle, who joined us on the day to make a presentation and support the event – a lovely gesture that rounded off the day in great style.”

Today’s event was another strong step forward in the growth of Go Games for Rounders, showing just how powerful and enjoyable this format can be for young players.

We now look ahead to the final stop on the Go Games express in Cavan on the 27th of September. That said, we’re happy to make one or two more stops along the way if other clubs are interested.

📣 These pilot events are helping lay the groundwork for a national Go Games roll-out in 2026.

GAA Rounders Previews August Bank Holiday

GAA Rounders – August Bank Holiday Weekend Previews

The August Bank Holiday brings sunshine, sideline debates, and the final push before the GAA Rounders semi-finals — and while the top four might be locked in across several grades, the drama is far from over.

Sunday, 3 August serves up a packed schedule:
– Senior Men’s sides jostling for top-two finishes
– Senior Ladies eyeing seeding advantages
– And an Intermediate Mixed decider that could turn into a tactical dogfight… or a tactical detour to the Latin Quarter.

From Carrickmacross’ unbeaten run to Breaffy’s treble hopes, and the Rapparees’ Canadian pitching crisis, there’s no shortage of talking points this weekend. Whether you’re chasing silverware or dodging run rate spreadsheets, every inning counts.

Here’s your full breakdown of this weekend’s fixtures, matchups, and predictions

Senior Mixed Championship – Sunday, 3 August 2025

🟢 The Heath vs Glynn Barntown

Venue: The Heath | Throw-in: 10am | Ref Michael Slevin

Preview: It’s an early start for this match, Glynn Barntown have already secured a semi-final place and will aim to lock in second spot here. Their head-to-head wins over both the Eagles and Cuchulainn are golden. The Heath are out, but their last performance showed heart. Glynn should have too much firepower.

Prediction: Glynn Barntown by 4

🟢 Carrickmacross Emmets vs Cuchulainn

Venue: Ballon | Throw-in: 11am | Ref: Iain Cheyne

Preview: This is must-win territory for Carrick. Even if they beat Cuchulainn, they must follow up with a win over the Eagles to qualify. Cuchulainn, with 3 wins already, are in control — a win here seals the final semi-final place. A loss puts them in danger if Carrick go on a run.

Prediction: Cuchulainn by 5

🟣 Breaffy vs Eagles

Venue: Ballyheane | Throw-in: 2 PM | Ref Jack Cheyne

Preview: Clash of the titans. Breaffy are top with 5 wins from 5 and want to complete a perfect group stage. The Eagles have four wins and are also safely into the semis. Both sides will test depth and tactics, knowing a rematch could come in the final.

Prediction: Breaffy by 3

—

🌟 Qualification Picture – Four Semi-Final Spots

✅ Breaffy: 5 wins – qualified, top seed with win
✅ Glynn Barntown: 4 wins – qualified, can finish 2nd with win
✅ Eagles: 4 wins – qualified, can still move up depending on results
🟠 Cuchulainn: 3 wins – qualify with win over Carrick. Lose, and it’s down to head-to-head and Carrick’s result vs Eagles.
⚠️ Carrickmacross Emmets: 1 win – must beat Cuchulainn and then beat Eagles next week to qualify. Anything less, and they’re out.
❌ The Heath: Eliminated

Four teams qualify — three are in. Only one place remains, and it could come down to the final day.

Senior Men’s Championship – Sunday, 3 August 2025

With two rounds remaining in this seven-game season, the four semi-finalists are confirmed — but their final order is far from settled. This weekend’s games will shape the title race ahead of a thrilling final round on 10 August.

🟢 Limekiln vs Raheen

Venue: Tymon Park Throw-in: 11am Ref : Sarah McGuinness

Preview: While both sides are out of contention, this is a big opportunity to finish with a flourish. Limekiln have put up a fight in most games and were unlucky to miss out. Raheen remain winless but have shown improvement. They’ll target this match as their best chance to get off the mark.

Prediction: Limekiln by 6

🟢 Carrickmacross Emmets vs Cuchulainn

Throw-in: 12:30 PM

Preview: Carrick are the one of two unbeaten teams left and have the league’s best run rate. A sixth straight win here keeps them on track for top seed — but that will be put to the ultimate test next week when they face the Eagles. Cuchulainn are already out, but they’ll want to leave a mark by challenging the championship favourites.

Prediction: Carrickmacross by 5

🟣 Breaffy vs Erne Eagles

Throw-in: 3:30 PM | Ref Jack Cheyne

Preview: A heavyweight clash with major seeding implications. Breaffy will want to bounce back from defeat to Carrick and will be gunning for a top-two finish. Erne Eagles are unbeaten and full of confidence. The result here sets the stage for next weekend’s decisive ties — with Breaffy facing Glynn and the Eagles taking on Carrick.

Prediction: Breaffy by 2

🔜 Final Round Fixtures – Sunday, 10 August 2025

Glynn Barntown vs Breaffy – May determine top two and semi-final pairings
Raheen ❌ vs Michael Glaveys ❌ – Bottom clash to finish the campaign

🌟 Qualification Picture – Four Go Through

✅ Glynn Barntown: 26 pts (6 games) – one game left vs Breaffy
✅ 🟢 Carrickmacross Emmets: 25 pts (5 games) – two games left: vs Cuchulainn & Eagles
✅ Eagles: 25 pts (5 games) – two games left: vs Breaffy & Carrick
✅ Breaffy: 23 pts (5 games) – two games left: vs Eagles & Glynn
❌ Limekiln & Cuchulainn: 22 pts (6 games) – eliminated via head-to-head
❌ Raheen & Michael Glaveys: both eliminated

We know who’s in — but not who’s on top. The race for semi-final seeding is heating up heading into the final two rounds.

Senior Ladies Championship – Sunday, 3 August 2025

🟣 Senior Ladies Rounders – Match Preview

📍 Breaffy v Erne Eagles – 12:30pm | Ref Jack Cheyne

The semi-final places may be settled — with Breaffy, Glynn Barntown, Cuchulainn, and the Eagles all safely through — but there’s still plenty riding on this Sunday’s fixture in Breaffy.

Top seeding is up for grabs, and both sides will be desperate to secure a favourable semi-final draw. Breaffy have looked sharp across both games so far, with a massive score difference and watertight defence. Their win over Cuchulainn was particularly impressive, and they’ll want to carry that form into the final group game against Glynn Barntown.

The Eagles, meanwhile, have already completed three of their four games and sit just behind the leaders. They’ve shown serious scoring firepower — none more so than in their 34–30 win over Cuchulainn — but a defeat to Glynn means they can’t afford any more slip-ups if they want to finish top.

Expect a fiercely contested match with a championship atmosphere — both sides have All-Ireland ambitions, and neither will want to blink first.

🟢 Breaffy form:
✅ 15–1 v Raheen
✅ 16–11 v Cuchulainn

🔵 Erne Eagles form:
✅ 34–30 v Cuchulainn
❌ 8–16 v Glynn Barntown
✅ 9–4 v Raheen

Prediction: Breaffy by 4

Intermediate Mixed Championship – Sunday, 3 August 2025

🟡 Intermediate Mixed – Final Group Game

📍 Sunday, 3 August 2025 | 🕔 5:00pm | Ref Jack Cheyne
🏏 Galway City Rapparees vs Erne Eagles

Galway City Rapparees have already secured their semi-final spot, but a win by seven runs or more could knock out Erne Eagles and send Michael Glaveys through instead. With their place already locked in, Galway turn to their third-string pitcher — Canadian Rory McGarvey — to get it over the plate and give them a shot at reaching the Latin Quarter before sunset.

The Eagles, however, are under pressure. A win guarantees a semi-final against Raheen, while a narrow defeat might still be enough — depending on the final run rate calculations. It’ll have been a long day for some, but this one should be well worth sticking around for.

🧮 Group Scenario:
• Rapparees win by 7+ → Eagles maybe out
• Rapparees win by <7 → Eagles may still qualify on run rate
• Eagles win → Eagles top the group ahead of Rapparees

🧠 Prediction:
One team needs a result. The other has little to play for. Expect a cagey one — low scoring and tactical. This Rapparees side has only lost one game over the past three seasons, so expect plenty of pride.
👉 Eagles by 5/6 runs, but don’t be shocked if Rapparees win.

🕐 1:00pm – St. Senans (Limerick)

vs Wolfe Tones (Antrim)

📍 Venue: Clonguish GAA Grounds
🧑‍⚖️ Referee: Sean Bailey

🎯 Match Preview

St. Senans have been relentless this season—five wins from five, a +44 run differential, and the highest scoring team in the grade (92 runs). They look balanced and confident in every department.

Wolfe Tones secured second place in Group A and have battled their way here, but with a much lower run rate (1.1) and defensive vulnerabilities, they’ll need a major performance to cause an upset.

🔮 Verdict: Senans to stay unbeaten

Gusserane were flawless in Group C, topping the table with 3 wins from 3 and an outstanding 3.1 run rate. Their defence has been especially impressive—just 15 runs conceded across the group stage.

🥎 Junior Mixed All-Ireland Quarter-Final

🚫 Dublin Mets (Dublin) vs Ballinagore (Westmeath) – Walkover

📍 Venue: Clonguish GAA Grounds
🧑‍⚖️ Referee: N/A – Walkover

🎯 Match Update

Dublin Mets advance to the semi-finals after Ballinagore (Westmeath) withdrew, resulting in a walkover victory. It’s a disappointing way to progress, but the Mets have already shown their class this season—finishing second in Group C with 2 wins and a solid 1.8 run rate.

With strong batting depth and a calm defensive setup, the Mets remain a genuine contender in this year’s Junior Mixed Championship.

🕚 11:00am – Dublin Mets (Dublin) vs Leighlinbridge (Carlow)

📍 Venue: Clonguish GAA Grounds
🧑‍⚖️ Referee: Danielle

🎯 Match Preview

Dublin Mets cruised through Group C with a perfect record—4 wins from 4 and a massive 6.2 run rate. Their defence tightened with each match, and they racked up an impressive 121 runs across the group stage.

Leighlinbridge battled through Group D with 2 wins and finished second in the group. Their run rate of 0.1 shows they’ll need to step up offensively to challenge the free-scoring Mets. That said, if they perform half as well as their social media—this could be theirs to win.

🔮 Verdict: Dublin Mets might just sneak it—but expect a close contest.

🎯 Match Preview

Inniskeen were one of the most complete sides in the group stages—finishing top of Group A with 4 wins and a strong 1.9 run rate. They’ve shown they can win big or dig deep in tight games, and that resilience could prove crucial.

Kilmore also come into this with 4 wins, but with a more modest 0.2 run rate. They’ve quietly built momentum and may surprise if they can frustrate Inniskeen early.

Elphin dominated Group B with 4 wins and an excellent 2.3 run rate. Their strength lies in their ability to combine power hitting with intelligent fielding. On their day, they look like serious contenders for the title.
