Lismore v Passage (8.00 at Fraher Field)
Lismore lost out in two one-score games last month and another defeat would plunge them into relegation difficulty. They led by eight points against Cappoquin but that early confidence waned when Maurice Shanahan left the field. John Prendergast has been a real find at wing forward and scored 0-5 from play over the two games. A rejuvenated Passage side can progress to the quarters following earlier wins over Roanmore and Dungarvan. In contrast to their opponents, they always fancy themselves in tight finishes. This promises to be an open contest but Lismore should be highly motivated and the Maurice factor may drag them across the line.
Odds: Passage 4/6 Draw 8/1 Lismore 11/8
Prediction: Lismore

Roanmore v Cappoquin (2.00 at Fraher Field)
Boosted by a first win over rivals Mount Sion since 1990, Roanmore have a quarter final berth in their sights. Billy Nolan is top scorer in this year’s championship with 1-16 and Cappoquin cannot afford to concede unnecessary frees. Ger Manley’s side made a miraculous recovery from their 23 point mauling against Mount Sion to pip neighbours Lismore in round two. They will aim to use the speed of Aaron O’Sullivan and Andy Molumby up front to unlock a stubborn Roanmore back line. The Sky Blues are an organised outfit and if this turns into a low scoring contest, they can move a step nearer to their goal.
Odds: Roanmore 1/4 Draw 11/1 Cappoquin 3/1
Prediction: Roanmore
Dungarvan v Mount Sion (3.30 at Fraher Field)
Two teams looking to rebound following second round setbacks. Ryan Donnelly’s return will boost Dungarvan and he showed well during the first half of Wednesday’s under 21 win. Mount Sion decided to change their attacking configuration for the Roanmore game as Austin Gleeson reverted to centre back. It seemed to upset their fluency and they only returned five points from play. They must also improve their discipline as Billy Nolan banged over ten frees. James O'Connor's Blues play a slick possession game and their formidable forward division should allow them to bounce back.
Odds: Dungarvan 4/5 Draw 8/1 Mount Sion 6/5
