Kenny Park, Athenry has been confirmed for hurling’s massive double header on Sunday (28th October) in the senior and intermediate championships.
Oranmore/Maree and Rahoon/Newcastle will meet in the curtain raiser for a place in the Harbour Hotel Intermediate Hurling Final.
Rahoon/Newcastle had to go to a replay before surprising tournament favourites Kinvara with a 1-15 to 0-16 victory in Kenny Park last Saturday (20th October).
Oranmore/Maree booked their place in the final four the previous week after defeating Kiltormer by 0-25 to 1-17.
Kilconieron await the winners in the decider after they won a dramatic semi-final on Sunday (21st October) defeating Meelick/Eyrecourt 1-16 to 0-17 in Duggan Park, Ballinasloe.
The second game will be the outstanding Salthill Hotel Senior Hurling Championship quarter-final as Clarinbridge face favourites St. Thomas at 1.30pm.
Clarinbridge caused a shock on Sunday when they beat 2016 and 2017 finalists Gort 3-18 to 1-19 and now prepare to take on the 2016 champions.
The semi-finals are provisionally scheduled for Sunday, 4th November with Cappataggle, Liam Mellows and Sarsfields having already booked their places.
Sarsfields came through Castlegar 1-12 to 0-13 on Saturday in Kenny Park; Cappataggle edged out Loughrea 1-15 to 0-17 in Duggan Park on Sunday; while defending champions Liam Mellows outscored Tynagh/Abbey-Duniry 2-16 to 0-16 later that day in Kenny Park.
FT in Kenny Park and it's Gort 1-19pts to Clarinbridge's 3-18pts. Goals win matchs and unfortunately it wasn't our day to get them. Hard luck lads. #gortgaa #gshc
