GAA
Knockout and relegation places will be confirmed in the three championships this weekend.
As the curtain draws on the group stages of three of the four championships, the last round of fixtures will decide the fate of a number of clubs.
All sides are in action over the weekend from all four championships as the Premier IHC also enters its penultimate round with a number of places yet to be decided.
In the group one of the SHC, Kilmallock and Doon will battle it out for the final semi-final place as they both sit on six points ahead of their clash. Patrickswell, Ahane and Adare are the sides fighting for relegation with one of the three to advance to the quarter-finals.
On the other hand, group two is a lot tighter with five sides battling out for the two quarter-final places and that coveted promotion.
There’s opportunities for sides in the Premier IHC to edge closer to the top four places ahead of the final round while there’s a number of places to be decided in the IHC and the Junior A’s final round.
