Four teams will compete for the Intermediate Championship title - St. Brigid’s Gaels Ardagh (holders), Killoe, Carrickedmond and Mostrim. Therefore, Ardagh, Killoe and Carrickedmond will be fielding the same first choice teams in the Senior and Intermediate competitions so plenty of games for those three clubs.
The Intermediate final for the Leah Sheridan Cup will also take place on October 5th, providing Ardagh, Killoe or Carrickedmond do not reach the senior title decider
