Electric Ireland MFC Semi-Final

Dublin v Derry, Croke Park, 2pm

Two teams carrying hope into the All Ireland series collide at Croke Park on Sunday.

Dublin eventually shrugged off a much improved Clare outfit at the Quarter-Final stage, while Derry edged a tight battle against Sligo by the narrowest of margins.

Following provincial final losses both Clare and Sligo responded, but the Leinster and Ulster winners still advanced to the last four.

Now they face off to determine who joins four in a row seeking Kerry in next month's decider.

Richie Mullan's 1-2 haul was crucial in Derry's last encounter, while Oisin McWilliams was sharp from frees.

The chief worry following that game was Derry's 17 wides so they will want to be much more clinical against Dublin.

Ross McGarry is a highly rated Dublin attacker and contributed 2-4 in the triumph over Clare.

Sean Hawkshaw is another talented Dublin inside forward and this match promises to be interesting.
