County JAFC semi-final previews: Nemo's third team look to cause another upset 

The final pairing in the McCarthy Insurance Group JAFC will be known tomorrow evening with the two county semi-finals down for decision.

Both matches are starting at 3pm.

In Páirc Uí Rinn, surprise packages Charleville take on a fancied Kilmacabea team. 

After lifting the Avondhu title, Charleville aren’t content with just that this year.

They deservedly took down Ballygarvan by four points in the quarter-final last weekend.

The result was a surprise to a certain degree given Ballygarvan have been the nearly men over the last few seasons.

Jack Callaghan’s 0-5 was crucial while Robert Carroll was excellent around midfield while also landing 0-3.

For the second successive game, Cork senior hurler Darragh Fitzgibbon came off the bench to such good effect.

The trio will be key again tomorrow.

Kilmacabea had a winter of regrets last year after a frustrating semi-final loss to the eventual winners Inniscarra.

They were installed as the outright favourites from the outset this year.

They have justified that tag by winning the Carbery crown in great style. They then defeated Carraig na bhFear 1-11 to 0-5 in the county quarter-final.

Damien Gore, Daniel O’Donovan and Ian Jennings are Kilmacabea’s main attacking threats.

Glenville is the venue for the other semi-final contest between Donoughmore and Nemo Rangers’ third team.

Donoughmore were delighted to win their first divisional championship since 2011 after a replay win over Aghinagh a fortnight ago.

They will be fully focused on this new challenge and will want to make an impact.

Gavin O’Sullivan, Declan Keating, Daniel Holland and Seán O’Hanlon will all be looking to keep their side's run going.

It just shows the depth of quality that Nemo Rangers have given their third team are at this stage.

Winning the City title was a big plus for them, getting the better of Mayfield in the final.

It was followed by an eye-catching victory over Castlemagner in the county quarter-final.

Ross Corkery and Dara O’Sullivan are quality forwards at this grade. They can cause problems for the Donoughmore defence.
