An Rinn and Brickey on course for last eight

An Rinn and Brickey Rangers both claimed wins in Group 2 of the Waterford SFC to boost their prospects of qualifying for the quarter-finals.

In a quiet weekend of action, only two games were played in the third round after the senior hurling management requested a postponement of fixtures involving members of the panel ahead of the All Ireland qualifier against Offaly next Saturday. They continued their preparations by conducting a challenge game against the county U21s at Fraher Field yesterday.

On a bright and breezy Saturday evening at the Dungarvan venue, An Rinn held firm in the face of a second-half fightback from Rathgormack (0-13 to 0-10).
