St Vincent’s set for semi-final battle with Slaughtneil

St Vincent's report no fresh injuries as they prepare for Saturday's AIB All-Ireland Club SFC against Derry's Slaughtneil in Páirc Elser, Newry (2.0).

The Marino club secured their seventh Leinster Club SFC when defeating Offaly's Rhode, 1-16 to 0-12, in the provincial decider before Christmas but in essence start again for Saturday's new challenge.

St Vincent's forward Tomás Quinn highlighted how much respect the Dublin and Leinster champions had for their opponents, Ulster senior champions in football, hurling and camogie, in a post-Leinster final interview.

"We are a dual club but, let's be honest, what they're doing is pretty incredible. They're competing at national level in both codes," said Tomás.

"They're probably feeding off the energy of either team.

"What they've done is an incredible story. Any team that comes out of Ulster is going to be good."
