Fergal Hegarty’s outfit are looking to bounce back from their first championship loss when they face O’Callaghans Mills in the winner takes all tie.

Meanwhile the stand out tie in the battle to avoid the drop is a repeat of the 2016 quarter final between Wolfe Tones and Feakle.

Both sides come into the game looking for the win that will see them secure their place in the top tier for next year, with the losers having one more chance to keep themselves afloat.

Feakle emerged victorious when the sides met 12 months ago, and Wolfe Tones boss James Carrig says they will be dangerous opponents once more.

That one has a 6pm start in Tulla on Saturday evening.
