The curtain falls on the group stages of the various Cork hurling championships this weekend, six of the 12 teams in each grade set to take their final bow of the summer.

In the top flight premier senior grade, all 12 sides are still in with a shout of a knockout berth, although for those bringing up the rear in each of the three groups, they’ll need a whole host of results to fall in their favour to be still standing come Sunday evening.
