Melvin Gaels face Kiltubrid as Annaduff drawn to face Allen Gaels in Smith Monumentals IFC Semi-Finals

Allen Gaels will face a repeat of last year's semi-final when they were drawn to face Annaduff in the Smith Monumentals IFC Semi-Finals on Saturday evening while table toppers Melvin Gaels will take on Kiltubrid in an eagerly anticipated encounter.

Kiltubrid booked their place in the semi-finals with a hard fought 2-12 to 3-6 victory over Carrigallen on Saturday in Avant Money Pairc Sean Mac Diarmada and their reward is a meeting with the top team from the group stages. The two sides did meet in the group stages with Kiltubrid forcing a 0-16 to 2-10 draw in Kinlough so both teams will know each other well.

Annaduff defeated Allen Gaels in last year's semi-final 3-13 to 2-9 and will be looking to return to the Intermediate Final for the third time in four years, having suffered defeats at the hands of Gortletteragh and Aughnasheelin in the 2020 and 2022 deciders.

Just as in the Senior grade, the bottom two teams from the group stages will contest the relegation final to see who makes the drop down to the Junior grade in 2024. The teams did meet in the final game of the group stages with Bornacoola scoring a 1-1-15 to 2-9 win.
