After the third round of SE Systems Senior Camogie Championship group games this weekend, we will know who goes through to the preliminary quarter-finals and quarter-finals proper and the three sides battling to avoid relegation.
Two games take place on Saturday in Castle Road. St Finbarr's, with two wins already, have secured their place in the quarter-finals and meet Glen Rovers at 3pm. The Glen, with a win and a draw, are heading for the knockout stages as well.
St Catherine's, having lost one and drawn one, will need to overcome Éire Óg at 6pm.
If they do it could could come to Glen Rovers or St Catherine's for the quarter-final berth, potentially decided by whoever conceded the least.
A win for Éire Óg will see them finish on three points and give them a preliminary quarter-final spot. Or they could end up in the relegation mix.
There are two games on Friday. Cloughduv with two wins from two are through to the quarter-final and they take on Inniscarra in Blarney at 6.30pm. Scarra with a win and a draw are in a good position and a win or a draw here will see them through to the quarter-final.
If Inniscarra were to lose and Blackrock defeat Aghabullogue they would both be level on points and again it would go to scores conceded to decide it, as the sides finished level in their original meeting.
A win for Aghabullogue, who so far have lost both games, could see them jump into third spot and avoid a relegation battle. Aghabullogue meet Blackrock in Rathpeacon on Friday at 6.30pm.
Champions Sarsfields had to grind out a three-point win over Killeagh in last weekend’s clash but with two victories are safely through. They head to Brinny Friday at 6.30pm to take on a Courcey Rovers side who rallied last weekend to beat Newcestown having lost their opening game to Killeagh.
Wins for Courceys and Killeagh would see them finish on level points and both through with the quarter final spot going to Killeagh on the head-to-head. It will be the same if Courceys lose to Sars and Killeagh win.
A win for Newcestown and Sarsfields would see an interesting finish to the group as three teams could end on three points and then it will come down to who ever has conceded the least.
Two divisions withdrew after the draws were made with Carbery and Imokilly failing to field. Carrigdhoun defeated Avondhu and will now play Seandún in Killeagh on Saturday at 6.30pm with the winners going to the preliminary quarter-final stage.
