Four teams are set to fight it out for the last remaining place in the top four. Workers Stags Blue, Hibo Tully Park Gold and the Coolavin Cowboys are assured of playoff places.

Workers Stags White currently hold fourth place, but only by the barest of margins.
Nipping at their heels are the Coolavin Young Guns, Hibo Tully Park Green and the Mad Bulls.
The Gordon Hotel is stone motherless last on 64 competition points and won’t come into the finals calculations.
On Saturday, the number crunching begins.
The Coolavin Cowboys meet the Gordon Hotel at Trinity in a match that has little impact on the semi-final lineup. Even so, there’s plenty at stake.

In the second of four matches on Saturday, the Mad Bulls host defending champions Workers Stags Blue at Marulan.

On Sunday, day two of the showdowns continues.

The two Hibo Tully Park outfits are fighting for fourth sport, while Workers Stags harbours hopes of a top two finish.
On Saturday the two Hibo Tully Park outfits play off for fourth place while the Black Sheep Irish Pub meets Workers Stags.
