Kilrossanty and Roanmore face a crucial battle for their senior football future tonight, as the Waterford club football championship continues with three fixtures across the county.

The sides meet in the JJ Kavanagh & Sons Co. Senior Football Championship relegation final at St Mollerans, with throw-in at 7.30 pm.

It’s a hugely important evening for both clubs, with their place in the senior football ranks for 2027 at stake.

For the winners, the result will secure their senior status for another season, while the losing side faces relegation from the county’s top football grade.

Kilrossanty find themselves in the relegation decider following a narrow defeat to neighbours Stradbally in the preliminary quarter-finals.

Despite a strong performance from captain Alan Dunwoody, Kilrossanty suffered a one-point defeat, with Stradbally progressing on a scoreline of 1-17 to 1-16.

Roanmore, meanwhile, will be determined to preserve their senior status, having recorded a convincing victory over Stradbally earlier in the championship.

With so much at stake, tonight’s encounter promises to be a fiercely contested battle as both clubs look to avoid dropping into the intermediate ranks.

There are also two games taking place this evening,

Intermediate status is also on the line this evening when Ballinameela take on Affane/Cappoquin/Tourin at Ballyduff Upper, with throw-in at 7.30 pm.

Meanwhile, there’s a place in the Intermediate Football Final up for grabs: Shamrocks face Sliabh gCua/St Mary’s at Cappoquin Logistics Fraher Field in Dungarvan at 7.45 pm.
