THE Limerick Senior Hurling Championship approaches the final round of group games this weekend.

For six teams, their group campaign concluded at the weekend with the following results in Section A & B;

  • SA; Group 1: Kilmallock 0-27 : 2-20 Ballybrown
  • SA; Group 2: Patrickswell 3-21 : 0-17 Ahane
  • SB; Group 1: Blackrock 1-19 : 1-16 Garryspillane
  • SB; Group 2: Kildimo Pallaskenry 0-20 : 0-15 Monaleen

In Section A, wins for Kilmallock and Patrickswell keep their seasons alive after round one losses. Wins for Na Piarsaigh and Doon this weekend will see the latter duo into the quarter-finals and the former into the semi finals.

Wins for Ahane and Ballybrown will send it to points differential. However, Patrickswell are guaranteed a place in the knockout stages such is their scoring difference.
