Senior Club Hurling Championship

The talking point of the quarter-finals was the defeat of Borris-Ileigh. Surprisingly, the 2019 winners fell to Drom and Inch. They were outscored by 4-19 to 1-28 on Sunday. This sends Drom and Inch through to a semi-final with Kiladangan. Kiladangan overcame Toomevara on Saturday. This semi-final goes ahead on Sunday the 6th at 5.30pm.

Loughmore-Castleiney and Nenagh Éire Óg face off in the other semi-final. Loughmore-Castleiney earned their semi-final spot by beating Clonoulty-Rossmore. A seven-point win in Thurles will have them full of confidence.

Yet, their opponents ran riot against Thurles Sarsfields to lay down a marker. Winning 3-12 to 1-08, they have proven themselves a force to be reckoned with. The teams return to Semple Stadium at 5.30 on Saturday.

Contrastingly, the relegation final is Burgess and Éire Óg Annacarty/Donohill. They have another week to prepare before their 12th of September game.

Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship Semi-Final fixtures:

Nenagh Eire Og v Loughmore/Castleiney in Semple Stadium next Saturday at 5.30pm
Kiladangan v Drom & Inch in Semple Stadium next Sunday at 5.30pm

The semi-final stages of this competition begin this Saturday. 4/7 favorites with Paddy Power, Clonmel Commercials are against Kilsheelan-Kilkash. Accordingly, Clonmel are expected to overpower Kilsheelan-Kilkash who scraped out of group 2. This one throws in at 4.30 on Saturday.

Loughmore-Castleiney and Moyle Rovers battle it put for the other place in the final. Both teams had perfect records in getting out of their groups. As a result, Paddy Power price them at 10/3 and 9/2 respectively. After a two-week break, it’ll be interesting to see who can keep their form come 4.30 on Sunday.

Additionally, Sunday sees the relegation playoffs begin. Firstly, Aherlow and Ardfinnan try to stay alive. Secondly, Galtee Rovers-St Pecaun and Éire Óg Annacarty/Donohill fight for survival.

On Saturday night Aidan O’Shea and Lee Keegan do battle. O’Shea’s Breaffy fought off Ballaghaderreen in the quarter-final. Meanwhile, Keegan’s Westport beat intermediate champions The Neale with 9 points to spare.

This will be the second time these teams meet this year. In the group stages, Westport won 2-11 to 16 points. O’Shea and co will be out to rectify that this weekend.

The shock of the quarter-finals was Ballintubber’s defeat to Knockmore. Led by Kevin McLoughlin, Knockmore halted Cillian O’Connor’s quest for three-in-a-row.

This set up a rematch of their own against Ballina Stephenites. Ballina overcame Aghamore comfortably after topping the group stages. There was only a point between these two teams when they met a fortnight ago. Expect it to be just as close again.

Ballina are the only team reprising their semi-final role from last year. This year’s Championship is now all to play for. Breaffy will be backed to finally lift the cup but still have it all to do.

In the relegation final, it’s Claremorris vs Moy Davitts. Moy Davitts are seeking to save themselves for the second time in a row.

Mayo GAA TV will bring all the action live.

Saturday 5th

Breaffy vs Westport (7.15)

Sunday 6th

Claremorris vs Moy Davitts (1.00)

The Intermediate Championship is also at its semi-final stage this weekend. Firstly, favorites Hollymount-Carramore have to overcome Kiltimagh on Saturday night. Hollymount are aiming to return straight to the senior championship.

Secondly, Ballinrobe and Balla fight for a place in the final on Sunday. Again Mayo GAA TV will be offering to bring the action to you. In the relegation battle, it’s Islandeady and Swinford on Saturday evening.

Their drive has not been lessened by the lack of an All-Ireland to be won this year. The champions beat An Cheathrú Rua last Friday. A 16 points to 6 win extended their unbeaten run in club championship to 48 games. This sets up a quarter-final tie with Salthill-Knocknacarra.

Meanwhile, Tuam Stars beat Claregalway to top their group. This sets up a fixture with Bearna. Other group winners Moycullen and Mountbellew Moylough have been pitted against St. James’ and Killannin respectively. However, we have to wait for the 12th and 13th of September for these games to be played.

Lastly, the relegation draw was also made. First of all, Monivea Abbey play an Spidéal. Then, Caherlistrane must overcome Michael Breathnach’s.

The Hurling championship also had its quarter-final draw. The Galway GAA competition features holders St. Thomas’ and 2019 runners up Liam Mellows both safely in the knockout stage. Last year’s finalists avoided in each in the draw. Liam Mellows had to see of Gort Inse Guaire in a playoff after finishing second in their group.

Again, St. Thomas’ are very much the team to beat.

These games come around on the 5th and 6th of September. The full quarter-final draw is here:

Loughrea vs Liam Mellows

St. Thomas’ vs Killimordaly

Turloughmore vs Sarsfields

Cappataggle vs Ahascragh Fohenagh

Last weekend’s quarter-finals threw up a plethora of highlights. Holders Ballyboden St. Enda’s had to dig deep to see off Raheny in extra time. 5 points from Conal Keaney went a long way. Also, a strong performance from Michael Darragh Macauley in midfield overshadowed the challenge of Brian Howard and Brian Fenton.

Elsewhere, Ballymun Kickhams defeated Na Fianna with the aid of James McCarthy and Dean Rock. A late black card for Johnny Cooper smothered his side’s chances.

Paul Mannion raised one of four green flags for Kilmacud Crokes. They shrugged aside a weary-looking St. Vincent’s side with ease.

Lastly, Kevin McManamon scored a superb solo goal for St. Jude’s. This went a long way in their 7 point win over Skerries Harps.

As a result, Paddy Power have made Kilmacud Crokes favorites at 2/1. Very close though are Ballymun and Ballyboden, both at 9/4. St. Jude’s are the outsiders at 13/2.

The semi-finals consist of Ballymun Kickhams vs Kilmacud Crokes and Ballyboden St. Enda’s vs St. Jude’s. They are scheduled for the 12th/13th of September. The final coming a week later.

Alongside this, the Senior B Championship semi-finals take place. Naomh Mearnóg have to beat St. Brigid’s to reach the final. Meanwhile, Templeogue Synge Street have a tough task to overcome Cuala.

Club Hurling Championship

Fans don’t have as long to wait for the hurling semi-finals. They come in the form of a doubleheader on Sunday the 6th. At 2pm, Lucan Sarsfields play 2019 winners Cuala. Following this, Ballyboden St. Enda’s take on Na Fianna at 4.30. Ballyboden fans are not starved of club championship action in the coming weeks by any means.

Dubs TV have offered club championship action extensively. This weekend will likely be no different.

The draw for the Cork hurling quarter-finals and semi-final stages of this club championship was made on Monday. It’s Glen Rovers who have their place in the semi-final secure. Six others will battle for the three remaining slots.

The winner of Sarsfields and Erins Own will face Glen Rovers in the semi-final. After a perfect group stage, Sarsfields’ chances here are good.

On the other hand, the other quarter-finals feature Blackrock vs Douglas and Na Piarsaigh vs UCC. The winners of these two games will complete the other semi-final. Like Sarsfields, Blackrock had a perfect group stage. Douglas will be tough opposition however.

Na Piarsaigh are the opponents for regional winners UCC. After defeating 2019 champions Imokilly, UCC will be favourites.

Senior ‘A’ Hurling Club Championship

Good form in the group stage has rewarded Charleville and Fr. O’Neill’s with semi-final places. Kanturk are unlucky to be forced into the quarter-final. Yet, they should be able to beat Bandon. Newcestown and Bride Rovers complete the lineup. The winner of this one will earn a tie against Fr. O’Neill’s.

Carrigaline and Castlelyons proved to be the teams to beat in the group stage. Perfect records put these teams in the semi-finals. Watergrasshill are unlucky to have been given the extra game. They’ll play Courcey Rovers for a chance to knock-out Castlelyons. Lastly, Ballincollig and Blarney compete in the other quarter-final.

Premier Senior Football Club Championship

Next Sunday will see the last of the group games played in the Premier Senior Football Club Championship.

Holders Nemo Rangers play Douglas for a top of the table spot. Defeat here for the holders could allow Valley Rovers to progress if they beat Bishopstown well. But don’t bet on it.

In group 2, Castlhaven should be safely through. They play bottom of the table Ilen Rovers. As a result, Carbery Rangers and Newcestown have a winner-takes-all game.

Elsewhere, St Finbarrs are in control of group 1. They play Clonakilty who need a win to progress. Failure to do so means Carrigaline could squeeze through if they beat Ballincollig. They need a big swing in points difference in their favour though.

Paddy Power aren’t predicting any upset in this club championship with Nemo Rangers at a steady 6/4. St Finbarrs and Castlehaven are the closest contenders at 4/1.

Duhallow were the regional winners thanks to an extra win over UCC.

Senior ‘A’ Football Club Championship

Sunday also sees the conclusion of the group stages in the ‘A’ championship.

Firstly, O’Donovan Rossa and St Michael’s are both already through from group A. This makes their game a battle for the top of the table.

Secondly, in group B, Mallow have to beat Bantry Blues and hope Kiskeam beat Éire Óg.

Lastly, group C is the most open. Despite being last, Doheny’s could beat Clyda Rovers to go through. This is dependent on the Fermoy and Bandon result though. They play for the top of the table spot.

Firstly, holders Padraig Pearses remain in the hunt. They overcame Roscommon Gaels by 10 points and remain the team to beat. They’ll come up against Clann na nGael in the semi-final. Clann na nGael fought off a strong Western Gaels side to reach this stage. This game will see county stars such as Niall Daly and David Murray against Donal Shine. Tune in to TG4 on Sunday at 15.45 to watch.

Meanwhile, Boyle and St. Brigid’s will compete for a place in the final. Led by Enda Smith, Boyle booked their place in the semis with a 4-08 to 0-12 win against St. Croan’s. Their semi-final opponents, St. Brigid’s, came out on top against Michael Glavey’s. The 2013 All-Ireland Champions are aiming to win their first Championship since 2014. This game is on Sunday at 1pm. Roscommon GAA TV ensure you won’t miss any of the action.

The intermediate championship also played its quarter-finals last weekend. St. Dominic’s put down a big marker over Éire Óg. Running up a scoreline of 6-11, they’ll be in the mix.
