The Blues\u2019 final group game will be against Roscrea on Wednesday, August 5th in Toomevara at 7pm. The minor hurlers would appreciate your support in Toomevara. The result of this game will determine \u00c9ire \u00d3g\u2019s seeding in the knock-out stages of the competition.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile group two has come to a conclusion. Kildangan have won that group with a 100 per cent record with Toomevara second and Kilruane third. Burgess finished fourth in that group on zero points. Therefore Kildangan have qualified for the semi-finals while Toomevara and Kilruane are through to the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n
