Ballinderry’s All-Ireland Club IFC semi-final clash with Austin Stacks will take on Saturday, January 4 at O’Connor Park, Tullamore.

After Storm Darragh forced the postponement of the Ulster IFC final earlier this month, Ballinderry finally locked horns with last season’s All-Ireland Junior champions Arva in Omagh last weekend.

Darren Lawn was the hero for the Derry side after plundering a stoppage-time winner with Ballinderry winning 1-12 to 2-8.

Jarlath Bell’s men now face a formidable task as they face Kerry kingpins Austin Stacks, who romped to a 7-7 to 0-2 win over Aherlow of Tipperary in a painfully one-sided Munster IFC in Mallow earlier this month.

The second semi-final between Crossmolina of Mayo and Caragh of Kildare will take place on the same afternoon in Glennon Brothers Pearse Park.
