Ballinamore Sean O'Heslins will face Cork and Munster champions Glanmire in the CurrentAccount.ie All-Ireland LGFA Intermediate Club Championship Final on Saturday December 16, at 3pm after the final line-up was confirmed on Sunday afternoon.

Ballinamore had booked their place in the final thanks to a dramatic last gasp 1-10 to 1-8 victory over Derry's Steelstown Brian Ogs on Saturday but had to wait until today to see who they would face with Glanmire getting the better of Meath's Na Fianna of Enfield on a 1-7 to 0-6 scoreline in Mallow.

Both Glanmire and Na Fianna were involved in fixture controversies this weekend with their camogie teams in All-Ireland Semi-Final action on Saturday. The Cork side, who play as Sarsfields in camogie, lost out to their Galway namesakes in the Senior All-Ireland Semi-Final while Na Fianna beat Tyrone's Eglish to qualify for their final.
