St Loman's of Mullingar and Ardee St Mary's will lock horns on Saturday afternoon in Mullingar in the Leinster Football Senior Club Championship Semi-Final. Westmeath champions St Loman's are fresh off a success against Castletown Liam Mellows, the Wexford champions, last week, the first time the club had ever hosted a Leinster Club SFC contest on their own turf. Now they get the chance to immediately double their tally of wins on home soil, in front of an expectant crowd. St Mary's Ardee took out Carlow kingpins Rathvilly in the last-eight and will be on the road for the first time in the competition having also progressed past Abbeylara of Longford in their provincial opener at home. A potential Leinster Club final against either Cuala or Tullamore is the prize on offer for both teams on Saturday and you can read our St Loman's vs St. Mary's prediction below.

🏆 St Loman's Mullingar vs Ardee St. Mary's G.F.C. Prediction

St Loman's have the key advantage of playing at home for this last-four showdown with the Louth champions. The Mullingar outfit have also got the superior experience in the bank, having reached the provincial decider in 2017 where they lost out by solitary point against Moorefield. With three-in-a-row Leinster champions Kilmacud Crokes out of the competition, every team left standing will believe this could be their year.

St Mary's won a low-scoring Louth county final in September – they tallied just 2-02 on the day – but have raised their game in their two Leinster outings against Abbeylara and Rathvilla. That said, taking on St Mary's in their own backyard looks a step up in class. Paddy Dowdall's side are well-drilled and have attacking quality in the likes of TJ Cox and county star John Heslin. They should have the quality to prevail once more at their Lakepoint Park home.

My Prediction: 🏆 St Loman's Mullingar to win!

💯 St Loman's Mullingar vs Ardee St. Mary's G.F.C. Betting Odds

Ardee St Mary's are attempting to reach a first ever Leinster Club decider and they know that they are facing a stern challenge when they travel to Mullingar on Saturday afternoon to face hosts St Loman's. The Co Louth outfit last month secured a famous three-in-a-row county titles, just the fourth club to achieve the feat in the Wee County but this represents their toughest challenge of 2024 to date.

St Loman's are the dominant force in Westmeath football of late, securing their fourth title in five years when they got the better of The Downs in a dramatic penalty shootout – the first time a Westmeath county decider was decided by spot kicks. Below you will find our St Loman's vs St. Mary's betting tips as these clubs get set to scrap it out for a place in the Leinster decider. We have three selections for the big game, including some value picks for punters utilising free bets on this last-four Leinster showdown.

✔️ St Loman's Mullingar vs Ardee St. Mary's Betting Tips

Our betting guide for Saturday's clash in Mullingar includes three match tips as St Loman's and St Mary's take to the field attempting to do their respective parishes proud. Read below for our expert advice on this major provincial semi-final clash, with odds from some of the most reputable firms covered in our bookmaker reviews section.

  • Tip 1: St Loman's to win: Home advantage at this stage in a provincial championship cannot be underestimated on what is a huge occasion for both clubs. St Loman's played in the Leinster SFC final in 2017, edged out by a single point in their clash with Moorefield of Kildare, but that is the only occasion in which either of these clubs have graced the Leinster decider. Garrycastle (2011) are the only club from either Westmeath or Louth to be crowned provincial champions.

    All of which goes to show the magnitude of the occasion for these two teams. John Heslin is a quality operator, Westmeath's all-time leading scorer, and the 32-year-old has the ability to help his side justify the favourites tag in front of a passionate home support at the Devlin Road venue. You can find a price of 1.80 at DirectionBet on St Loman's to win and that represents value.

  • Tip 2: St Loman's to win by 4-6 points: Given that expectancy of a St Loman's win, it is worth going for some extra value at the price of 4.33 with BoyleSports that the Westmeath outfit will come out on top by a margin of 4-6 points on the day. St Loman's overcame Dunshaughlin in round one by 13 points and they had the same margin to spare on Castletown Liam Mellows in the last-eight, but St Mary's represent a step up in terms of ability and the Louth champions will be no pushover.

    St Mary's have scored five goals across their two Leinster clashes and if they can keep raising green flags, they should stay in touch. St Loman's will probably have the knowhow to get away from them over the course of 60 minutes but there will be no time to relax.

  • Tip 3: John Heslin anytime goalscorer: Like St Mary's, hosts St Loman's have found the back of the net five times in their two provincial outings thus far, with three of those goals coming last time in Mullingar as they put the Wexford champions to the sword. Goals are going to be key on Saturday, the momentum of a three-pointer likely to be pivotal in what should be a close and tense battle for much of the afternoon.

    Star man John Heslin is available at a price of 4.75 with BoyleSports to find the net for the home side. Heslin notched five points for his side in their opening win over Dunshaughlin but he was held to just two scores, one a free, in the win over Castletown. He was amongst the goals in the county semi-final win over Tyrrellspass in September and could raise another green flag now.
