County Intermediate Hurling Championship:
Sean Treacys went down to their first defeat in this year’s County Intermediate Hurling championship when they were defeated by Boherlahan/Dualla by two points on Saturday night last. Sean Treacys will still qualify from the group but their final placing will depend on the result of the Arravale Rovers v Moyle Rovers 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. The result on Saturday night also means Arravale Rovers cannot qualify from the group but a win in their last game will take them out of relegation. The remaining West teams will be in action on July 9th.
