At Mick Neville Park · Mick Neville Park, Rathkeale, Co. Limerick
Na Piarsaigh take on St Senan’s in Group 2 of the County Intermediate Football Championship on Wednesday, 9 September 2026, with throw-in at 7:30pm at Mick Neville Park in Rathkeale. Both clubs have a strong hurling tradition in Limerick, but this fixture is football, contested at intermediate grade, one tier below the county’s senior football ranks.
Mick Neville Park is a Limerick GAA-owned ground in Rathkeale that serves as the county’s secondary home venue after the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick city, and it regularly hosts county senior hurling and football fixtures as well as club championship games. A Wednesday evening throw-in at 7:30pm is a common midweek slot for club football at intermediate level, timed to work around club and county training calendars. Na Piarsaigh and St Senan’s are both competing in Group 2 of the intermediate grade, with results across the group stage determining who advances to the knockout rounds later in the year. Expect a straightforward club fixture: no ticketing, free admission, and a crowd made up mostly of each club’s own supporters rather than a wider county following. Games at this grade are competitive and open, with clubs typically playing for promotion back towards senior status or to avoid relegation.
Rathkeale is on the N21 road between Limerick city and Newcastle West, around 25 minutes’ drive from the city. Mick Neville Park is on the edge of the town.
