Lexilip face the same unlikely potential exit from Group D as Larries do, but the Kildare Championship might screech to a halt if Nurney manage to turn over the table-toppers.
The fixtures take place on Sunday, September 7 at 1:30pm with Suncroft facing Monasterevan in Manguard Park, Hawkfield and Leixlip meeting Nurney in Cedral St Conleth's Park.
The game to monitor is Suncroft vs Monasterevan. If The Croft win, they progress in second and Monasterevan join the team propping up Group C for a place in the Junior Championship.
Monastervean beating Suncroft is where this group gets interesting. Nurney have the worst points differential set against the other two teams with -3 to their name after a four-point loss to The Croft and a one-point win over Monasterevan (who have -1). Suncroft sit +4 with their win over Nurney. It will all come down to the scoreline if the bottom place team causes an upset with neither of the second and third placers out of the woods just yet.
Leixlip and Nurney looks set to complete a 100% group stage record for the former with the other Group D clash being the box-office draw. If there is anything other than a commanding Suncroft lead, that game will be nervy beyond belief with so many moving parts. If nothing else, drama will be plentiful.
