There were wins for Causeway and Lixnaw in the second round of group stage matches in the Kerry Senior Hurling Championship, played at the Austin Stack Park on Sunday. Defeat for Ballyheigue means they follow Dr Crokes in exiting the championship with two losses in a row.

Champions Causeway were smarting after their loss last weekend to Kilmoyley and were in danger of suffering the ignominy of exiting the championship before the knockout stages when they faced St Brendan's Ardfert but they eventually came good to emerge victorious by 3-16 to 0-14.
