    I have 3 post categories: A, B and C.

    If im looking at a post within category A i only want to see related posts that are within category A.

    Likewise if im looking at a Category B post i only want to see related posts that are within category B.

    Can this be done and if so how ?

    It is possible, and you’ll need to add the following code to a functionality plugin:

    function jetpackme_filter_exclude_category( $filters ) {
	if ( in_category( 'category-a' ) ) {
		$filters[] = array( 'not' =>
			array( 'terms' => array( 'category.slug' => array( 'category-b', 'category-c' ) ) )
		);
	} else if ( in_category( 'category-b' ) ) {
		$filters[] = array( 'not' =>
			array( 'terms' => array( 'category.slug' => array( 'category-a', 'category-c' ) ) )
		);
	} else if ( in_category( 'category-c' ) ) {
		$filters[] = array( 'not' =>
			array( 'terms' => array( 'category.slug' => array( 'category-a', 'category-b' ) ) )
		);
	}
	return $filters;
}
add_filter( 'jetpack_relatedposts_filter_filters', 'jetpackme_filter_exclude_category' );
