Best of luck to Na Gaeil Junior team as they face Shannon Gaels of Roscommon in Tesco Home Grown club championship All Ireland semi final. The game takes place in Na Gaeil Tralee at 1.30 on Sunday 17th. While Na Gaeil cruised through the Munster's, they will face a much stiffer challenge from the Connacht champions. Shannon Gaels beat a very good Louisburg side of Mayo in their Connacht final, on a scoreline of 0-18 to 0-10. They also boast the Connacht Young Player of the Year Tess Murtagh & Roscommon Seniors Sile O'Dowd & Niamh O Beirne. However Na Gaeil are much equipped to the task with Capt Riona Kennedy leading a tight ship in defence, midfield pair of Mary Doody & Eilis O'Connor securing possession while Marie Quirke & Louise Ni Mhuircheartaigh with their vast inter county experience up front leading the attack. The winners will face St. Helens from Longford or Dunedin from Scotland who play in the other semi final. Calling on all Kerry football supporters to come on Sunday & cheer on Na Gaeil. Tweet
