Beaten county finalists last year, Corofin, will take on Cathal Sheridan’s Milltown which seek the club’s first title since 1981 in one semi-final, while Salhill-Knocknacarra, managed by Gerry Hughes this season, take on the winners of Cortoon Shamrocks v Mountbellew-Moylough or Tuam Stars.

•Clarinbridge GAA Club is one of four shortlisted for Ireland’s Best Club Down Under, sponsored by Etihad Airways. The other three clubs are Cork’s Bishopstown, Glynn Barntown of Wexford, and Kilmacud Crokes. Clarenbridge, which was founded in 1889, has enjoyed many successes on the field, winning its first county intermediate title in 1983. In 2001 it won its first county senior title by overcoming the then reigning All Ireland champions Athenry, and in 2010 it won its second county senior title, going on to win the 2011 All Ireland Hurling Club title for the first time. Etihad will fly the first team from the winning club to Australia, where it will train with GAA legend Nicky English ahead of the challenge game of a lifetime.

John McIntyre has stepped down as manager of the Galway senior hurling team after three years at the helm. The Tipperary native succeeded Ger Loughnane in the winter of 2008 but failed to help the side progress beyond three successive All-Ireland quarter finals.
Last year was the highlight of his tenure as Galway collected a National League crown overcoming Cork in Thurles, before going on to reach the Leinster final where they were defeated by Kilkenny. They led eventual All-Ireland champions Tipperary by two points in the closing stages of the All-Ireland quarter final, but lost by the minimum for the second successive season.
