Geoffrey McGonigle takes his unbeaten Kevin Lynch's team to Fr McNally Park on Wednesday night to face local rivals Banagher. With the top two teams at the end of the league automatically seeded in the SHC semi-finals, Banagher need to win to keep themselves in the hunt. The Feeny men currently have a score difference of -2 and would still be outsiders in the race, with Kevin Lynch's (59) and Slaughtneil (52) having a superior scoring return. The Emmet's travel to Swatragh and are expected to maintain their 100 percent record. The following week (Wed, Aug 7) Michael McShane's side host Kevin Lynch's at Emmet Park in what is expected to be a title decider. Also this week, at the bottom of the table, Coleraine travel to Ballinascreen. Sean Leo McGoldrick scored 1-11, including a late equaliser, against Lavey last week. On the other hand, the home side will be looking for a response to their heavy defeat against Kevin Lynch's.
