IT is the turn of the Club Football championships this weekend to light up the sporting calendar. With two rounds to go, the groups in the Live 95fm Senior and the Griffin Coach Hire Intermediate championship are wide open.
Last season’s county champions Monaleen are still very much in the hunt for honours. However it is their opponents from last season’s final, Adare, along with Fr Casey’s who are setting the pace atop the table.
In group 2 of the Senior football championship, it is a much tighter affair. Newcastlewest top the group on six points from Ballylanders on four. Two points separate the rest of the group down as far as Ballysteen who are not out of it yet.
In the intermediate championship, group one is a tight as it gets. Mountcollins, Oola, Athea and Gerald Griffins are all on four points from three games. Mungret and Cappamore are still in the hunt too for the knockout stages.
In group two, Bruff and Croom are top with Bruree and Hosptial Herbertstown in the hunt. Claughaun and Na Piarsiagh are yet to get off the mark.
Finally, after last weekend’s last round of matches, the draws for the quarter finals of the senior and intermediate hurling ties have been made. In the senior draw it is: Doon v Na Piarsaigh, Adare v Ahane, Kilmallock v Patrickswell and Emmets v Hospital/Herbertstown.
The intermediate sees, Ballybrown v Kildimo, Effin v Newcastlewest, Dromin/Athlacca v Monaleen and Glenroe v Killeedy
