IT'S CRUNCH time in the Irish Wire Products Limerick Senior Football Championship with the final round of group fixtures taking place at the weekend.

Things are straightforward in Group One with Newcastle West through to the county semi-final topping the group after four wins from their four games.

Kildimo-Pallaskenry and Fr Casey's have reached the quarter-finals with one game to spare. Those teams meet on Saturday in Newcastle West.

Both sides have had impressive seasons to date with three wins from their four games, with their only losses coming against competition holders Newcastle West.

The Magpies finish their group campaign with a fixture against Oola in Kilmallock. Jimmy Lee's side have been impressive throughout the competition and are firm favourites to win their third title on the bounce.

They face an Oola side that has struggled in the championship but the win over Claughaun last time out could prove crucial.

The other game in Group One sees Claughaun take on St Kieran's in Clarina. The Childers Road side are without a win in from their four games and are up against it.

However, a win over Kieran's could see them could see them escape the relegation play-off. Kieran's sit on two points along with Oola. All games on Saturday evening take place at 6pm.
