Monaleen face Kildimo Pallaskenry in Mungret. Monaleen sit in second place on six points, while Kildimo Pallaskenry are just behind them on five points. 

The Castletroy side just need a draw or victory to reach the last six of the Championship. Eoin Brislane's charges need Ballybrown to be defeated or Dromin Athlacca and Ballybrown to finish all square if Monaleen are to make the jump up to group one of the SHC. 

It's simple for Kildimo Pallaskenry, Natal O'Grady's side need a win to keep Kildimo Pallskenry in the Championship. There could be a case where Ballybrown, Dromin Athlacca and Monaleen all finish on six points, then the scoring difference from the games between those clubs would come into the equation.
