FRIDAY 

Cork SAHC Group 3 

Courcey Rovers v Carrigtwohill, Páirc Uí Rinn (M Maher), 7.30pm 

In the continued absence of injured Sean Walsh and their pointless state after the opening round, Carrigtwohill fast require others to meaningfully step up in the game’s more difficult moments. 

Otherwise, they'll find it very difficult to locate a path to carry them as far as last year's semi-final appearance. Is this the evening Courcey Rovers secure a first Senior A group stage victory since September 2, 2023?

Verdict: Courcey Rovers 

Cork Intermediate AHC Group 2 

Blackrock v Midleton, Riverstown (D Twomey), 7.30pm 

Verdict: Midleton 

Cork Premier JHC Group 2 

St Catherine’s v Milford, Kildorrery (N Hayes), 7.30pm 

Verdict: St Catherine’s 

Group 3 

St Finbarr’s v Mayfield, Ovens (B Barrett), 7.30pm 

Verdict: St Finbarr’s
