The final round of the Co-Op SuperStores Senior A Hurling Championship takes place this Saturday, with plenty still to be decided across the three groups.

Group 1

Blarney and Watergrasshill have both secured their places in the knockout stages.

Their final-round meeting in Grenagh will decide who finishes top of the group.

• Blarney: A win or draw will secure top spot and a place directly in the semi-finals.
• Watergrasshill: A win will see them finish top and advance directly to the semi-finals.
• Ballyhea and Castlelyons: Both are out of contention for qualification. Their meeting in Mallow will determine their final position in the group and is important in terms of avoiding the relegation play-off.

Group 2

Erin’s Own have already secured top spot and will advance directly to the semi-finals.

• Erin’s Own: Through to the semi-finals as group winners.
• Killeagh and Na Piarsaigh: Both have two points and meet in Midleton. The winner will qualify for the knockout stages.
• Na Piarsaigh: A draw will be enough to secure second place due to their superior scoring difference.
• Fermoy: Need at least a draw against Erin’s Own to avoid the relegation play-off.

Group 3

Group 3 is the most open, with all four teams still in contention for qualification.

Ballinhassig currently top the group and face Carrigtwohill at Páirc Uí Rinn.

• Ballinhassig: A win or draw will secure top spot.
• Carrigtwohill: A win would put them in a strong position to qualify.
• Inniscarra: Need a win over Courcey Rovers to guarantee qualification.
• Courcey Rovers: Must win and will need other results to go their way to progress.
