West Junior B Hurling Championship is down to the final four

The Tipperary Co-Op West Junior B Hurling Championship continued on Sunday last with three of the four quarter finals going ahead. An update on the games, format and form going into the semi finals is below. 

Quarter Final 1:

Defending champions Solohead booked their place in the semi-finals following a 2-14 to 2-11 victory over Lattin/Cullen in Solohead.

At half time Lattin led the way but the experienced Solohead pushed back into contention in the second half to just see off the  Lattin challenge.

In their previous game the Monday before, Lattin had just seen off a strong 2nd half fightback from Cashel King Cormacs in the preliminary quarter final. 

Solohead are now in the semi finals from that side of the draw and will be the favourites for the title, having overcome an intense quarter final. 

Quarter Final 2:

Rosegreen needed extra-time to see off Emly, 2-24 to 1-26 at Nijinsky Park Rosegreen. The story of the Rosegreen win is here: Match Report

Quarter Final 3:

Eire Og Annacarty Donohill survived a second half Clonoulty/Rossmore comeback to advance to the semi-finals, 5-9 to 1-24 in Annacarty. The Match Report is here: Eire Og pip Clonoulty
