The race for Intermediate Championship glory in Tipperary Ladies Football has reached its decisive stage, with four teams now preparing for the semi-finals this weekend.

After a fiercely competitive group campaign, Templemore, Moycarkey Borris, Moyne Templetuohy, and Ardfinnan have secured their places in the final four.

Templemore have been the standout team so far, finishing the group stages unbeaten with five wins from five, showing their scoring power and defensive strength. Their 3-15 to 0-2 victory over Moycarkey Borris underlined their credentials as championship favourites. They now face Ardfinnan, who battled bravely through their campaign and showed strong scoring form in their win over Mullinahone.

On the other side of the draw, Moycarkey Borris and Moyne Templetuohy will clash in what promises to be a tight encounter. Both sides finished level on six points in the group stages and have been consistent performers. Moyne Templetuohy’s edge in scoring difference reflects their attacking flair, but Moycarkey’s resilience and defensive workrate will make this semi-final a fascinating battle.

The Intermediate Championship has already provided some thrilling encounters, including Moyne Templetuohy’s narrow 3-9 to 1-4 win over them, and Templemore’s emphatic displays throughout. Now, with the stakes at their highest, all four semi-finalists will leave nothing behind in pursuit of a coveted county final place.

The winners will advance to the Intermediate Championship Final, where silverware – and promotion hopes – await.
