The four semi-finalists booked their places in the 2018 intermediate camogie championship with a game to spare and will now have a work out against each other before the serious business of making the final commences.
Castlegar will meet Craughwell in Round Three, and Ahascragh/Fohenagh will take on Carnmore. The winner of each match will face the loser of the other in the semi-finals.
The other four teams aren’t finished yet as they’ll want to avoid relegation with the remaining games (Kiltulla/Killimordaly vs Shamrocks, Kiltormer vs Mountbellew/Moylough) effectively acting as semi-finals to avoid the drop.
Group A
Castlegar 4-7 Shamrocks 2-12 (Tuesday, 10th July 2018, Tynagh)
Two goals in each half gave Castlegar their second victory and secured their place in the semi-finals. Shamrocks fought back in the second half but were agonisingly one-point short at the finish.
Craughwell 1-14 Kiltulla/Killimordaly 1-9 (Wednesday, 11th July 2018, Duggan Park)
