The GAA have this afternoon announced that the AIB All-Ireland Intermediate club semi-final clash of Ballinderry and Austin Stacks has been moved to Parnell Park.

The freezing conditions nationwide have left Glenisk O’Connor Park in Tullamore unplayable, with the match now fixed for the north-east side of Dublin city tomorrow, with throw-in at 2pm.

There will be a pitch inspection for the encounter in the morning, as is the case for Errigal Ciarán’s SFC semi-final meeting with Dr Crokes at O’Moore Park in Portlaoise, Co Laois on Sunday.

Both Shamrocks and Stacks are former All-Ireland winners at senior level, with the Derry outfit having narrowly overcome Arva of Cavan in the 2024 Ulster final in Omagh before Christmas.

The Kerry outfit are targeting All-Ireland honours having been relegated from the senior ranks in Kerry for the first time in 2022, losing out to the Cliffords and Fossa in 2023.
