Stephen Rochford and his Corofin side are facing their biggest challenge to date when they square up to Dublin kingpins St Vincent's in Saturday's All-Ireland Club SFC semi-final.

The Galway and Connacht champions will have to be at their very best if they are to dethrone the reigning champions at Tullamore.

"They (St Vincent's) have got quality all over the field," manager Rochford remarked to The Irish Independent.

"Every one of them could play intercounty football in different positions.

"And they are a footballing team. I don't see any blanket defences coming up this weekend but it's not all champagne football with them either.

"They work very hard and we respect that hugely; even the guys like Ger Brennan and Mossie Quinn and Diarmuid Connolly - they are the same.

"But we like to think we have some similar qualities."
