The win solidifies Penrith’s third table spot and increases their chances of again reaching the playoff stages. Meanwhile, Young Irelands win over Cormac MacAnallens on Sunday sees them just within a point of top place while ‘Macs have a big test ahead of them next week in the last round when taking on Clan NaGael for that all important final playoff birth.
In Camogie Clan Na Gael increased their lead at the head of the table when beating Craobh Padraig while second place Central Coast had an emphatic win over MacAnallens. While the top two seem destined to meet in the final, ‘Cusacks at the bottom look the likely ones to lose out for a playoff place.
In Ladies Football the position at the top is a reverse of the standings in Camogie in so far as Central Coast in this instance continue to lead the way when recording a comprehensive victory over third place ‘Cusacks, while second place Clan Na Gael maintain their place with a six point win over ‘MacAnallens on a scoreline of 0-11 to 1-2 (5).
