Eight weeks ago, 60 clubs set out with the ambition of winning a county football title at the five highest grades in Cork. For 30 clubs, that dream is still alive, for 20 clubs the postmortem begins while the other 10 must negotiate a relegation playoff.

In the Premier Senior Championship, Nemo Rangers are the top seeds and are through to the semi-finals. The pick of the quarterfinals will see St Finbarr’s and Castlehaven renew their rivalry a round earlier than usual while the winners of that tie will play the winners of Ballincollig and Duhallow in one semifinal. Newcestown and Carrigaline will play each other in the other quarterfinal for the right to play Nemo in the final four. Carbery Rangers and Valley Rovers will face off in the relegation playoff.
