The losers of the group of 4 that haven't made the quarter finals play off to decide the last team to go down.

Thanks, so does that mean that 5 of the 8 teams that lost their first round games will be going down? That means that the likes of Eire Og and Cooraclare can't win the championship. Is Doonbeg v Miltown regarded as a quarter final as they won their first round games?

If you Win R1 (3 weeks ago) and R2 (this weekend) you are quarter final material If you lose R1 and lose R2, you are gone - this is set in stone If you lose R1 and win R2 you are in a play-off right?

Going by this it seems that all of the first round losers are now out of the championship and are only playing to avoid relegation, is this correct? Paddy power is currently giving odds based on all 16 teams being still in the championship

To further complicate this, if Eire Og win tomorrow and are still in the championship I presume they would be playing whoever loses from the winners round ties e.g. loser of Doonbeg v Miltown. If this is the case how do they sort out the final team being relegated, as in could Doonbeg/Miltown be involved in the relegation playoffs? I could be completely wrong in all of this but I'm just not sure of how its supposed to play out

The 4 winners from the winners section this weekend are into the quarters. The 4 losers from the winners section play the 4 winers from the losers section - the winners here go into quarters and the 4 losers go into playoffs with one more team relegated.

So one of the teams that won their first round game two weeks ago could potentially get relegated?

And what way is the playoff working? Everyone plays everyone or just 2 games? loser of both there games is relegated?

That seems to be my understanding also. Just seems a bit harsh that a team that win their first round game could still be relegated

Is it not harsher that you are Done and dusted after 2 games if you loose back to back?

Doors Barefield, O'Currys, Wolfe Tones and Kilfenora relegated to intermediate for 2019

Ennistymon beat St. Breckans by about 2 11 to 09 & Cratloe beat Clonegad 1 13 to 1 12 in the Park.
Ennistymon & Cratloe progress to Q finals having won both their 2 games while Breckans & Clonegad go into Round 3, they can still make A finals or go down (I think)

*Edited as I thought Kilfenora V Corofin was Intermediate championship

doora/barefield, o'currys kilfenora and wolfe tones are the unlucky losers in round two today they all will be playing intermeadite football next year one more team will be relegated from the losers of round 3 / senior b championship later in the year

kilmurry ibrickane were pushed all the way in there extra time win over lissycasey , Miltown had an impressive second half showing against doonbeg to advance to the 1/4 finals ,ennistymon and cratloe will join them after wins against st breckans and clondegad . the latter not living up th the hype beforehand cratloe holding off a late clondegad challenge to see themselves through

eire og bannshed there neighbours doora/barefield to the second teir with a huge 22 point win , corofin defeated kilfenora by 14 , cooraclare beat o'currys by 16 points , while kilmihil hed out to win by just two points against a spirted wolfe tones effort this evening

Excellent post shane , very sad again today really nice touch by all the clubs ,Michael was probably one of the best footballers in the county over the last 19'or 20 years

Even though he hit the clare intercounty scene at the worst possible time he will always be remembered as an excellent inter county forward

Hopefully kilkee can kick on now in his absence and gain promotion in his name , it must have been a tough day for them today too

Football round 3 draw

Lissycasey v Corofin
Clondegad v Kilmihil
Cooraclare v Doonbeg
Eire Og v St.Breckans

Junior semi finals

KIB v Eire Og
Killimer v Michael Cusacks

Afaik there can't be repeat pairings 'where possible'. For example, if Eire Og v The Mills were drawn out early in the draw then they'd avoid each other but if they were the last two left then they would play each other. Not sure if this is definite but that's what I was told over the weekend.

Clooney Quin v Mills
Ballyea v Inamona
Eireog v kilmaley
Cratloe v the bridge

Very even ties there and all close to call. On weekend of 23rd
