It's the final round of group games in the TUS Clare Senior Hurling Championship, and there's a full programme of four fixtures on Saturday that will decide who advances to the knockout stages and who is left facing a relegation battle. Two throw-in times, four venues, and plenty on the line with Inagh / Kilnamona the only team guaranteed qualification. We will have live updates from all four fixtures right here throughout the day.
Group 3 gets going first, with both games throwing in at 1.45pm. Clooney/Quin sit top of the group after their big win over Feakle and go into their meeting with O'Callaghan's Mills in Sixmilebridge knowing a win seals top spot. Across in Tulla, Cratloe, who came from behind to salvage a draw last time out, take on a Feakle side that needs a result to keep their own quarter-final hopes breathing. With the two quarter final spots in this group still up for grabs, nothing is decided yet.
Cratloe v Feakle, venue: Tulla, 1.45pm, referee: John Bugler
Clooney/Quin v O'Callaghan's Mills, venue: Sixmilebridge, 1.45pm, referee: Kieran Liddane
Group 1 follows at 5pm. Inagh/Kilnamona have already booked their quarter-final spot after two wins from two, but they'll have an eye on the bigger picture as they face a Clonlara side who know that victory in Cusack Park guarantees their own progression. Meanwhile in Newmarket, Ballyea must beat St Joseph's Doora Barefield to keep their season alive, with Doora Barefield already facing into a fight to avoid the drop after back-to-back defeats. It's the kind of final-round scrap where scoring difference could well come into play before the day is out.
Inagh/Kilnamona v Clonlara, venue: Zimmer Biomet Páirc Chíosóg, 5pm, referee: Kevin Corry
Ballyea v St Joseph's Doora Barefield, venue: Newmarket, 5pm, referee: Augustine Callaghan
