Holycross/Ballycahill booked their place in the knockout stages of the Tipperary senior hurling championship after defeating Upperchurch/Drombane by 1-28 to 0-20 yesterday.

Darragh Woods struck the game’s only goal in the second-half as Holycross/Ballycahill went on to win out by double figures and condemn their opponents to the relegation playoffs.

In Templederry, Thurles Sarsfields made it three wins from three by seeing off Kilruane MacDonaghs on a 2-27 to 2-18 scoreline yesterday evening to move into the quarter-finals.

Paddy Creedon’s goal 10 minutes before half-time helped Sars to hold a 1-14 to 0-9 when the teams went in and they’d net again late on via Darragh Stakelum to ensure the win.
