The final four left standing in the intermediate football championship will leave it all on the field this weekend, with a spot in the final up for grabs.

Nothing ever comes easy at the intermediate grade and this year is proving to be no different - last year's beaten finalists are out of the competition after the group stage.

When Conor Madden decided to be the man to take on the last chance for Kilmeena to draw level almost seven minutes into injury time, every Kilmaine and Kilmeena supporter inside and outside the ground had their hearts in their mouths.

This promises to be something special on Sunday, we got it wrong last weekend when we picked Balla to see off Lahardane and book their spot in Sunday's semifinal — John Maughan's men hit Balla with everything they had and were deserving eight point winners. They never let Balla settle and against the wind they went in leading by two points, in the second half they really upped the ante and outscored their opponents by 2-7 to 1-2, after they had been pulled level five minutes into the second half, with sub Cormac Reilly netting two goals in the final quarter of the game.
