The crunch knockout clash in Semple Stadium saw Borris-Ileigh defeat 2018 finalists Nenagh Éire Óg by 1-16 to 0-9. Niall Kenny scored the first-half goal that helped the winners establish control from an early stage.
Borris-Ileigh’s win confirms the eight teams that will progress from the group stages:
Group 1 – 1. Thurles Sarsfields; 2. Upperchurch-Drombane.
Group 2 - 1. Mullinahone; 2. Clonoulty-Rossmore.
Group 3 – 1. Kiladangan; 2. Loughmore-Castleiney.
Group 4 – 1. Kilruane MacDonaghs; 2. Borris-Ileigh.
There will be one preliminary quarter-final on the weekend of 9-10 October with Killenaule, qualifying due to their south divisional championship victory, facing a second seed.
That will leave eight teams to be drawn together for the quarter-finals on 16-17 October.

The other game in Group 4 saw Kilruane MacDonaghs defeat Roscrea by 3-19 to 2-18 this evening in Toomevara to top that group.
Yesterday’s action saw Thurles Sarsfields top Group 1 with their third consecutive win with a ten-point victory over Upperchurch-Drombane. But despite the loss Upperchurch qualified on scoring difference (-8), edging them ahead of 2020 semi-finalists Drom-Inch (-9) and Éire Óg Annacarty (-21).
Scoring difference was also key in deciding the issue in Group 2. Three teams finished on four points with last year’s quarter-finalists Toomevara (-7) losing out as Mullinahone (+8) and Clonoulty-Rossmore (+7) prevailing. Mullinahone’s 2-23 to 1-13 success over Toomevara proved critical.
In Group 3, Loughmore-Castleiney’s success on Friday night ensured they would progress here along with Kiladangan, the team that beat them in last year’s final.
