Intermediate Championship – 3rd Round
Three of the Intermediate quarter final places are already known as we head in to the final round of the group stages inÓgroups 1, 3 while group 2 are at round 2 stage and group 4 placings to be confirmed. This weekend should see two more places confirmed while the remaining two places will be decided 1 week later. Relegation is also facing some teams as we look at the status of the groups:
Group 1
Final Game: Annaduff v Aughnasheelin
Status: with Dromahaire through to the quarters its between Annaduff v Aughnasheelin to decide on the runner up spot. Both teams had close teams against Dromahire and Aughnasheelin just lost by the smallest margins. As a result they have the better score difference of -1 compared to Annaduffs -3. A draw in this game and Aughnasheelin will go through with the better score difference and Annaduff head for the relegation playoffs.
Group 2
Next Game: Aughavas v Glencar/Manorhamilton
Status: This group are a game behind the other 3 but with St. Marys win last weekend over Glencar/Manor the pressure is on Manor to survive this weekend as a loss will rule them out. score difference will apply if Manor win this weekend and Aughavas beat St Marys next week, Manor will need to be aware of this.
Group 3
Final Game: Drumkeeran v Ballinaglera
Status: Cloone are in the quarters and Drumkeerin are nearly there in that they need a draw or better to go through. Ballinaglera on the other hand need to win outright as they need all the points to better Drumkeerins 1 point.
Group 4
Final Game: Gortletteragh v Fenagh St. Caillins
Status: This group is almost decided upon as Gortletteragh and Fenagh are guaranteed a place what remains to be seen is in which order they come out of the group. A draw and Gortletteragh will go through as table toppers due to score difference. Glenfarne/ Kiltyclougher await the relegation playoff.
