Liam Mellows target provincial glory this weekend
LIAM MELLOWS will host Roscommon champions Oran in the Connacht Intermediate Camogie Championship final at Ballyloughane on Saturday (2pm.),
Both sides will aim to secure provincial honours before turning their attention to their respective All-Ireland campaigns later this month. Liam Mellows will compete in the All-Ireland Intermediate Camogie Championship semi-finals, while Oran will enter the All-Ireland Junior Camogie Championship at the same stage.
Liam Mellows made history by claiming their first Galway Intermediate Camogie Championship title with a 0-11 to 0-7 victory over Kiltormer in the county final. Galway camogie star Niamh McPeake scored seven points for the city outfit, securing a memorable four-point victory.
The result also secured Liam Mellows' promotion to the senior ranks for the first time in the club's history. Having claimed the Junior A title just three years ago, their rise through the grades has been impressive, and they will now compete in the Galway Senior B Championship in 2027.
Their opponents Oran secured their second Roscommon title in three years after recording a 2-5 to 0-2 victory over Athleague in the county final at the end of October. Andrea Fallon played a key role for the Roscommon champions, finishing with 1-5 in their nine-point victory.
Regardless of Saturday's result, Liam Mellows will face Tipperary champions Boherlahan Dualla in the All-Ireland Intermediate Camogie Championship semi-final on the weekend of November 28/29.
Meanwhile, Galway senior camogie champions Sarsfields will face the winners of this weekend's Munster final between last year's beaten All-Ireland finalists St Finbarr's and Gaultier in their All-Ireland semi-final on the same weekend.
