SHC group stage near conclusion

August 28, 2015

This weekend the final round of group games in the Offaly senior hurling championship take place.

All group one games will be played on Saturday, while Group 2 will come to a conclusion on Sunday evening.

In Group 1, leaders St Ryangh's face bottom side Shamrocks and there is little to play for here as neither side can be moved from their current position.

The meeting of Seir Kieran and Tullamore could be one of the matches of the weekend and the winner of this one looks set to take second place in the group.

Belmont need a win against Ballinamere to cement their place in the knockout stages, while the latter will stay second from bottom.

The big game of the weekend is in Group 2 as the meeting of Kilcormac/Killoughey v. Coolderry is sure to draw a big crowd on Saturday evening. Both sides are unbeaten and will want to remain that way at the end of this clash.

Kinnity need a win against Birr to force a play-off for a place in the knockout stages, while a win for the former champions will see them through in third place.

Shinrone will be favourites to pick up the points and still have a chance of progressing against a Brosna Gaels side looking for a first win of the campaign.
