🔥 SENIOR A KNOCKOUTS ARE SET!

What an afternoon in the Senior A Hurling Championship. The final group games went right down to the wire, with the knockout picture changing throughout the day. 👀

Shinrone looked to be heading for the relegation final at half-time, trailing Lusmagh by a point. A huge second half completely transformed their afternoon as they powered to a 3-21 to 0-14 win and suddenly had eyes on a quarter-final.

Then came the wait.

Belmont pushed Ballinamere all afternoon, knowing their result would have a huge bearing on the final standings. But Ballinamere found a way, edging it 0-23 to 1-18 to complete a brilliant group campaign with four wins from four and book their place directly in the semi-finals.

That result left Belmont, Shinrone and Tullamore all locked on four points. The three-team mini-table separated them by the finest of margins: Belmont +2, Shinrone 0, Tullamore -2. Belmont and Shinrone advance to the quarter-finals, while Tullamore agonisingly bow out.

In Group One, Kilcormac-Killoughey recovered from an opening-round defeat to Coolderry to finish top of the group and claim the other direct semi-final place.

St Rynagh’s 🆚 Shinrone

From Shinrone sitting in the relegation position at half-time to reaching the quarter-finals, and Tullamore missing out through a three-team mini-table, there really was nothing in it.

The business end of the Offaly Senior Hurling Championship is here. 🔥🏑

🔥 JUNIOR A PERMUTATIONS

Plenty still to be decided in the final round of the Junior A Hurling Championship today.

In Group One, Ballyskenagh/Killavilla, St Rynagh’s and Tullamore are all still in the hunt for the two semi-final places. A Tullamore win today would leave all three on six points and bring the mini-table and score difference into play. 👀

In Group Two, Clodiagh Gaels are safely through, while Shamrocks, Edenderry and Belmont are all battling for the remaining qualification places.

With semi-final spots, quarter-final places and relegation all in the mix, there’s plenty riding on today’s games. 🏑

🔥 SENIOR HURLING GROUP TWO PERMUTATIONS

Plenty still on the line in the final round of Group Two this afternoon.

Ballinamere and Belmont battle for top spot and the direct route to the semi-final, while Tullamore’s quarter-final fate is now out of their own hands.

A Ballinamere win combined with a Shinrone win creates a three-way tie between Belmont, Shinrone and Tullamore, bringing the mini-table into play. 👀

At the bottom, it couldn’t be much simpler: Shinrone v Lusmagh has huge consequences. A Shinrone defeat sends them into the relegation final, while Lusmagh must win to escape it.

🏑 Ballinamere v Belmont
🏑 Shinrone v Lusmagh

The final pieces of the Senior Hurling knockout picture will be decided today.

🔥 SENIOR B SEMI-FINALS SET

The Senior B group stage is complete and we’re down to the final four.

🏑 Seir Kieran v Kilcormac-Killoughey
🏑 Clodiagh Gaels v Clara

K/K secure the final semi-final place after today’s victory over Drumcullen, joining group winners Seir Kieran, Clodiagh Gaels and Clara in the knockout stages.

At the other end, it’s Carrig & Riverstown v Drumcullen in the relegation final, with Senior B status on the line.

Four remain. Who reaches the final? 👀

🔥 SENIOR HURLING: GROUP ONE PERMUTATIONS

One direct semi-final place and two quarter-final places are up for grabs as Group One reaches its conclusion this afternoon.

St Rynagh’s have their four games played and sit top, but K/K can leapfrog them with victory over Birr.

Birr are guaranteed a quarter-final, while Coolderry need a win over Kinnitty AND a Birr win over K/K to force their way into the top three.

For K/K, it’s simple at the top end: beat Birr and they go straight to the semi-final. Lose, though, and a Coolderry victory would knock them out of the top three on head-to-head.

Plenty still on the line from 4pm 👀

🔥 SENIOR B: IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THIS

Two semi-final places are already secured, but the battle for the remaining two goes right to the final round.

Seir Kieran and Clara are safely through, while Clodiagh Gaels, Carrig & Riverstown and Kilcormac-Killoughey are all still fighting for a place in the last four.

And with head-to-head, points difference and even a possible three-team mini-table potentially coming into play, there’s plenty still to be decided.
