GAA
The Second round of the Limerick SHC, PIHC, IHC and JAHC took place over the weekend with 23 games played in total.
With the knockout stages only a month away, some groups have begun to take place with a number of teams now guaranteed their place in the latter rounds.
Below is a full round up of the games.
Bon Secours Limerick Senior Hurling Championship
The action kicked off on Friday night as Adare and Doon met in Group 1 of Section A. In the end there was nothing to separate the sides with the contest finishing 1-19 to 0-22. As a result Doon need to avoid defeat against Patrickswell next weekend by more than six points to advance. Anything else will see them go through with Patrickswell. A Doon win would see them straight through to the semi-finals.
In Section B, Na Piarsaigh got their first win at the second time of asking as they demolished 14-man Ahane 2-23 to 0-9 in the Gaelic Grounds on Saturday evening. That means Ahane must beat Kilmallock by 22 points this weekend if they are to advance. Otherwise Kilmallock will advance with Na Piarsaigh. A win or draw for the Balbec will secure a semi-final berth.
In Group 1 of Section B, South Liberties got their campaign back on track with a comprehensive 3-21 to 1-15 win over Murroe Boher. South Liberties now top the table on goal difference ahead of Monaleen who play Murroe Boher in Round 3. A Monaleen win will see them advance to the knockout stages and a promotion final. Murroe need a huge win to swing their goal difference if they are to progress after the heavy loss.
On Saturday evening on Limerick GAA TV, Blackrock and Garryspillane played out an entertaining 1-14 to 0-17 draw in Kilmallock. That result means Blackrock cannot progress to the quarter-finals as they await the result of Ballybrown and Garryspillane on Saturday. If Ballybrown avoid defeat then they will advance to the knockout stages and a promotion decider. A Garryspillane win would see them take those berths.

Lyons of Limerick Premier Intermediate Hurling Championship
In Group 1 of the PIHC, the permutations are clear heading into the final weekend of fixtures. Last weekend Bruff overcame Dromin Athlacca 2-18 to 1-16 while Glenroe were 1-20 to 2-14 winners over Knockainey. That means Bruff face Glenroe this weekend with the winners topping the table and the loser finishing second. Bruff currently hold the upper hand when it comes to scoring difference. Dromin Athlacca meet Knockainey to see who avoids the relegation play-off.
Mungret St Pauls guaranteed their passage from Group 2 as they beat Bruree 0-17 to 1-9 in Bruff on Saturday. Their pair of wins means anything other than a loss on the final day to Cappamore will secure top spot in the group. Cappamore need to better Bruree’s result to avoid bottom spot. Elsewhere over the weekend, Kildimo Pallaskenry got their first win, a 1-16 to 0-10 win over Cappamore to set up a winner takes all clash with Bruree on the final day. A draw will also be good enough for KP to advance.

G1: Bruff 2-18 : 1-16 Dromin Athlacca
G1: Glenroe 1-20 : 2-14 Knockainey
