22 National Senior [Intermediate] semi-finals were decided over the weekend, setting up 18 title deciders in the process.

Former European Junior and Youth champion Daina Moorehouse advanced at the expense of Ciara Walsh  and  Brandon McCarthy, also a European medalist, beat Killian Geraghty on a 4-1 split in a cracking lightweight bout.

Daniel O’Sullivan, trainer at Celtic Warriors, also made it through to next week’s middleweight final while Galway’s Martin Sammon set up a welter decider with Matthew McCole.

Donegal’s Illies BC, courtesy of Caroline Gallagher and McCole, will be aiming for double gold next weekend, while Jason Harty – whose Rathkeale BC team-mate Martin Mongans also won this evening –  beat Shane O’Brien in a Limerick derby.

Next Friday’s finals begin at 6.30pm.
