Kilkenny Soccer: McCalmont Cup semi-final showdowns and Cup finals dominate fixture list

Silver will be the colour of the weekend as the Kilkenny & District League goes Cup crazy!

The McCalmont Cup semi-finals will take centre stage on Sunday, with two tasty derbies down for decision in Derdimus. Thomastown United A, finalists last year and winners in 2016, will take on neighbours Highview Athletic A in the first of the semi-finals at 12 noon. That will be followed by an even closer affair, with club loyalties on the line as defending champions Evergreen A take on Evergreen C at 3pm.

Derdimus will also be the destination for three schoolboys' cup finals on Saturday - the under-12, 14 and 16 showpieces will be held - while a busy weekend kicks off with the junior Division Three Cup final between Clover United B and Deen Celtic B on Friday at 7pm.
