Padraig Pearses get Connacht campaign underway after long wait

Padraig Pearses will get their senior Connacht club championship underway this Sunday when they face Mountbellew/Moylough in the 2nd of the semi finals after their inital meeting was re-scheduled due to Covid. The Galway champions accounted for Ballinamore in the quarter final, while Pearses have been waiting since their county final win over Clann Na Gael at the end of October. Speaking after that victory manager Pat Flannagan remarked it would be important as a group to carry their form within the county into the provincial championship
