Dunboyne will be bidding for an All-Ireland title at Dublin's Parnell Park on Sunday when they take on Kinsale in the All-Ireland Intermediate Club final,1.45pm.



Kinsale contested an All-Ireland junior final last year, but lost out to Dublin outfit St Maur’s, the team that Dunboyne defeated this year in the Leinster Club decider.

Kinsale are now back in a national decider, this time at intermediate level, and the Cork club finds itself very much on an upward curve.

Opponents Dunboyne from Meath have been on a similar trajectory and were crowned All-Ireland junior champions two years ago.

In their recent semi-final victory over Monaghan side Latton, Dunboyne were hugely impressive, racking up a tally of 3-18.

Under-age graduate Vikki Wall is well known to fans of the Meath county team but against Latton, the Dunboyne women had eight different scorers on target.

The 2016 All-Star Orla Finn is Kinsale’s marquee forward but she has All-Ireland minor winner Sadhbh O’Leary in close support while and Faye Ahern and Jenny Murphy have been contributing.

Kinsale survived a late fightback from Galway opponents Moycullen to book a final spot, scoring 18 points in the process.

They might need goals to win this final – but both teams have them in their respective lockers.
