Play continued today at Knighstbrook Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort in the AIG Cups and Shields Finals.
Following their semi-final defeats of Galway Bay and Adare Manor, East Cork and Edmondstown will face off tomorrow in the AIG Intermediate Cup Final. Edmondstown will be looking to make up for their semifinalist result in the AIG Junior Foursomes earlier this month while East Cork are searching for double success, as the club won the AIG Jimmy Bruen Shield last weekend.
In the AIG Pierce Purcell Shield, Castlebar carded another convincing win over Lismore while Abbeyleix narrowly saw off Mayobridge in the other semi-final. The two will line out tomorrow in the final at Knightsbrook from 09.30am.
