Loughrea have been paired with Castlegar in the Galway SHC preliminary quarter-final draw.
The holders and last year’s All-Ireland finalists defeated Gort at the weekend, but finished runners-up to Tommy Larkins who qualified directly for the quarter-finals. Gort will face St Thomas’ in their preliminary quarter-final after the latter lost to Sarsfields and therefore finished second in their group.
In yesterday's SHC games, Turloughmore overcame Ardrahan by 0-20 to 0-13, Castlegar beat Oranmore-Maree 2-21 to 3-15 and Sarsfields were 3-15 to 1-17 winners over St Thomas'.
The SHC and IHC preliminary quarter-finals will take place on the weekend of September 19/20.
