The quarter-final shape up could become a lot clearer with a pair of vital SHC games in either group to be played.
The hurling returns with a bang as two huge Limerick Senior Hurling Championship games are down for decision this Thursday evening.
In group one, the Limerick GAA TV cameras will be in Kilmallock for the clash of Patrickswell and Ahane from 6.45pm. Both are tied on two points following mixed starts to the campaign and will be eager to put one foot in the quarters ahead of a quick turnaround to round four.
In the other group, Mungret St Pauls and Adare meet in Askeaton where the loser could be eliminated, such is the competitive nature of reaching the top two. The rivals come into the contest, level on three-points and will move clear at the top with victory.
In the intermediate championship, Murroe Boher and Knockainey will look to keep pace with table toppers Granagh Ballingarry when they meet while the first placed side face bottom Croom in Feenagh.
Both group one games in the junior championship take place while Templeglantine and Claughaun of battle in group two.
