Loughgiel won the league encounter between the teams earlier in the year, but that was then and knockout hurling is a completely different animal with both teams knowing it’s all or nothing when the ball is thrown in around 5pm. In contrast, the Shamrocks entered their final round game at home to Naomh Éanna needing a result to stay alive in the competition having fallen shot against St John’s and Cushendall previously, but it’s a clean slate for both teams on Sunday as it’s all about the next game in the race for the Volunteer Cup. Rossa had the opportunity to bypass the quarters when they faced Dunloy in their final group game a fortnight ago, but came up short against the defending champions after earlier victories in the competition against Carey and Ballycastle. ![]()
