Four games set to be streamed in round three of Galway SHC this weekend

County champions Loughrea take on Gort in Group One at 3.45pm on Saturday, with Tommy Larkins already guaranteed top spot and direct passage to the SHC quarter-finals.

The clash between Loughrea and Gort will determine second place in Group One. A draw will be enough for Tommy Kelly’s side to secure runners-up spot, with both teams already assured of a place in the preliminary quarter-finals.

In Group Two, Cappataggle face a must-win encounter against Craughwell at 5.30pm on Saturday. A victory for Cappy, coupled with a Liam Mellows win over Clarinbridge, would see Steven Creaven’s side advance to the knockout stages.

If Clarinbridge defeat Liam Mellows, Cappataggle would need to beat Craughwell by at least five points to progress. Craughwell, meanwhile, only need a win to secure second place in Group Two.

The Galway GAA TV cameras will return to Kenny Park on Sunday for the Group Four meeting of Turloughmore and Ardrahan at 2.15pm.

Both sides have already secured their places in the preliminary quarter-finals, but second place remains up for grabs. Ardrahan need a victory to leapfrog Turloughmore into second, while Turloughmore know a win or draw will guarantee them runners-up spot.

Athenry have already secured top spot in the group, while Killimordaly will contest the relegation semi-finals.

Oranmore Maree and Castlegar will meet at 4pm on Sunday in another crucial Group Four clash at Kenny Park. For Oranmore Maree they need a victory to remain in the championship, while Castlegar know avoiding defeat will be enough to secure their survival. The loser will face the relegation semi-finals.
