There were a number of games last weekend in the Tipperary Co-Op West Junior B Hurling Championship with further games this weekend.

Group A
There were two games down for decision on Saturday last in Group A. Golden/Kilfeacle got their first win at the second attempt defeating Galtee Rovers who were playing their first game, 1-13 to 0-11 in Bansha.
The second game saw Eire Og Annacarty Donohill make it two wins from two inflicting a first defeat on Cappawhite, 1-26 to 2-15.

This Saturday the game between Galtee Rovers and Emly in Bansha is now off. Galtee Rovers have conceded.
The following day Golden/Kilfeacle host Eire Og Annacarty Donohill in Golden at 12 noon. The home side will be aiming for a second win in as many games as Eire Og look to make it three from three.

Group B
On Saturday last  Rosegreen got their first win and remain unbeaten following a 6-32 to 0-15 victory over Arravale Rovers in the Rosegreen Community Field. Arravale Rovers are now out of the competition.
 
Lattin/Cullen have conceded to Rosegreen this weekend.

Group C
There were two games down for decision in Group C.
On Friday Cashel King Cormacs got their first win inflicting a first defeat on Sean Treacys, 2-17 to 0-6 in Leahy Park Cashel at 7.30pm.

On Saturday evening in Solohead, the defending champions got their first win when they defeated Knockavilla Donaskeigh Kickhams, 1-17 to 0-17 to remain unbeaten after two games.
There are two games down for decision this Friday.
Solohead who top the group on three points face Cashel King Cormacs who are on two at Leahy Park Cashel with a 7.30pm throw in.
At the same time Sean Treacys who are on a point host Knockavilla Donaskeigh Kickhams who are on two in Kilcommon.

A win for Solohead will see them top the group. Wins for Cashel King Cormacs and Kickhams would see both go to four points with Kickhams first and Cashel second. Solohead would finish third and playoff for a quarter final spot.
A draw will also be sufficient for Solohead to top the group. Sean Treacys will have to win to have a chance of qualifying.
