The line up for the Co. Senior hurling Championship Quarter-Finals will be completed this evening with the two remaining play-off games down for decision.

First up is the all-Eastern clash between Clonea and Mount Sion in Walsh Park this afternoon.

'Sion had a good group campaign with two wins, and were somewhat unlucky to miss out on automatically qualifying for the last eight.

Clonea won the Intermediate Championship last year but failed to win any of their group games

Mount Sion boss John Meaney isn't taking anything for granted; "This is going to be 50/50 they're going to come in all guns blazing".

John told WLR Sport they've been pleased with the progress his side have made

Clonea manager Jonathon Ó Mordha says there's a good buzz around the Clonea area ahead of this latest challenge.

Throw-in is @ 2:30pm.

Dungarvan and Fourmilewater will battle it out later this evening for a place in the last eight

These Western-rivals have produced some close contests in recent seasons and a tight tussle is anticipated

Dungarvan narrowly missed out an automatic Quarter-Final spot, but they suffered a heavy defeat against De La Salle in last weekend's League Final

Fourmile' have been struggling for form this season losing their three group games but selector Tom Guiry says they were always gearing up for this stage of the season; "this is probably the start of the Championship, ourselves and Dungarvan it's hard to know, the only thing we can look back on is the last couple of years there's been nothing between the two teams and we're hoping for a good performance on Sunday".

Dungarvan boss Dermot Dee is expecting the game to go right down to the wire

That one is underway @ 7pm in Fraher Field, and the draw for the Quarter-Finals will be made afterwards.
