The intermediate football championship has been a graveyard for many a man who tried to predict the eventual winners of the competition for many a year. This grade is often so evenly matched that the vast majority of the 16 sides which start off at the beginning of the year could end up with the Sweeney Cup. The final four this year all can lay legitimate claims to being in with a very good shot of claiming the title, and by Saturday at 7pm we should know the final pairing. Things get under way at the county grounds when Burrishoole and Kiltimagh go head to head at 4pm, with Tourmakeady and Belmullet rounding off proceedings at 5.30pm.

When the dust settled on Kiltimagh’s season in 2008 anyone who said that the east Mayo men would, in the not too distant future, be 60 minutes away from a day out in Croke Park would have been laughed at. But just 16 months on from Kiltimagh losing out to Mayo Gaels in an intermediate championship relegation play off that is where they are. It has been a strange couple of seasons for the men in blue an white, in 2007 they were only minutes away from making the break to the senior championship only to lose out to Ballintubber in the county final. The following year they could not buy a win, and a Sunday afternoon that August in Claremorris saw them drop down to the bottom tier of championship football in the county.

There’s no rest of Kiltimagh this weekend, seven days after seeing off Roscommon side Ballinameen by 2-14 to 0-3, the east Mayo men face into the Connacht final this weekend. It’s only a short hop to Charlestown (throw in 2pm) for Kiltimagh on Sunday when they face off against Galway champions An Spideál. The Galway men have been in cracking form this season and Kiltimagh’s easy win over Ballinameen is not the ideal preparation for a Connacht final.

Kiltimagh claimed the Connacht Junior Championship in Charlestown on Sunday afternoon after a hard fought 0-11 to 0-10 win over An Spidéal from Galway after extra time. In the club's 121st year it was Adrian Forkan who was the hero for Mick Regan's men, Forkan landed a point from over 40 yards out to seal the win for the east Mayo men. Kiltimagh looked to have the game under control early on and led by 0-5 to 0-3 at the break, but the Galway men came back at them and Brian Gallagher had to score a late point to level the game up at 0-9 each at the end of normal time.
