Melvin Gaels are finihed in the group stage and they are in the Quarter finals with 3 points. The final game is between Sean O Heslins and Mohill who go into this fixture with 1 point from their previous drawnÓgame.   score difference won t apply in this group as Sean O Heslins need full points while a draw will be the minimum for Mohill.  The game is fixed for Cloone at 5:30pm on Saturday evening.

 

Group 4

Final Game:  Aughawillan v St. Marys
 

Status: 
St. Marys share two points along with Bornacoola but last weekends score line leaves the Bors with a -4 score difference.   This means that they must sweat it out as they await the final game in their group.  Aughawillan must win if they intend getting into the Quarterfinals to take advantage of the better score difference over Bornacoola.   If St Marys win then they top group 4 and bring Bornacoola with them into the quarters.   This group will conclude in Páirc Seán on Sunday afternoon with a throw-in of 2pm.
