County Intermediate Hurling Championship:
In Group 1 Arravale Rovers take on Moyle Rovers in Leahy Park Cashel at 7.30pm on Saturday night July 9th.
Sean Treacys have qualified from the group but their final placing will depend on the result of this game. Should Moyle Rovers win, there will be three teams level on four points – Sean Treacys, Moyle Rovers and Boherlahan and the placings will be decided on score difference. Sean Treacys currently have the better score difference of the three. Arravale Rovers cannot qualify from the group but a win will take them out of relegation.
In Group 5 Cashel King Cormacs take on Shannon Rovers in Borrisoleigh at 7.30pm on Saturday night July 9th.
This is a repeat of last year’s fixture. Both sides are playing for second spot in this group of three and both lost their opening round games to Ballinahinch. Cashel King Cormacs must win as a draw would be enough for Shannon Rovers to advance on score-difference. A win would also see Cashel out of the relegation playoffs.
