Weekend Preview And Fixtures

There is a full program of games in both the Ulster Bank All Ireland League and Munster Junior League this weekend.

The game of the day in Division 1A of the Ulster Bank League sees Young Munster travel to the Capital to take on new leaders Clontarf at Castle Avenue and this is a game the “Cookies” cannot afford to lose if they are to remain serious contenders for honours.

Early pacesetters Cork Constitution, who have lost ground in recent weeks, face a tricky task as they take on UCD at Belfield.

Bottom side Garryowen, who are still without a win, will be looking to make the most of home advantage count as they entertain Lansdowne at Dooradoyle and Dolphin welcome Ballynahinch to Musgrave Park and will hope to get back to winning ways after last week’s defeat at Tom Clifford Park.

In Division 1B UL Bohemian make the long trip to County Tyrone to take on Dungannon and Shannon are at home to Ulster opposition as they entertain Belfast Harlequins at Thomond Park.

Bruff and Highfield, who are still seeking their first wins of the campaign in Division 2A have home ties as the County Limerick side welcome new leaders City of Derry to Kilballyowen Park and Old Wesley are the visitors to Woodleigh Park.

Early leaders UCC are away to NUIM Barnhall in the Kildare side’s first Colours game.

Old Crescent entertain Seapoint at Rosbrien and Cashel travel to Magherafelt to take on Rainey Old Boys in a mid-table clash at Hatrick Park.

Division 2B leaders Nenagh Ormond face a tough assignment as they put their unbeaten record on the line against third-placed Skerries at Holmpatrick.

Thomond are away to Boyne and Midleton make the long trip to Strandhill to face Sligo at Hamilton Park.

Richmond have a home tie against DLSP and Sunday’s Well, who recorded their first win of the campaign against Suttonians last time out travel to the Faithful County to take on Tullamore at Spollanstown.

Kanturk and St Mary’s go head to head in a top of the table clash at the Duhallow venue in Division 1 of the Munster Junior League. Both sides are level on points and the home side will have their work cut out as they will be aiming to claim pole position with a first defeat for the Limerick side.

Third-placed Newcastle West will be looking to keep their challenge on track as they take on Clonakilty at the West Cork venue.

Tralee will be looking to bounce back form last week’s All Ireland Junior Cup quarter final defeat against Skibbereen as they travel to the Premier County to take on Clonmel.

All Ireland Junior Cup semi finalists Skibbereen are away to bottom side Galbally and Mallow take on Kilfeacle at the Tipperary venue.

Muskerry will be looking to take another step closer to safety as they entertain Waterpark at Ellis Park and Cobh Pirates and Old Christians go head to head in a mid-table encounter at the Paddocks.

In Division 2, Castleisland and Crosshaven get proceedings underway in a mid-table clash under lights at the Kerry venue on Saturday evening.

On Sunday, leaders St Senan’s travel to Suirside to take on Waterford City at Kilbarry and second-placed Bandon are away to fourth-placed Clanwilliam.

Bottom side Ennis will be looking to make the most of home advantage as they go in search of their first win of the campaign against Youghal and fellow strugglers Newport, who are also without a win will have their work cut out as they entertain Kinsale.

Killarney take on Presentation in a mid-table encounter at the Kerry venue and Killorglin face a tricky task in their bid to avoid the drop as they take on Thurles at the Tipperary venue.

Ballincollig and Abbeyfeale lock horns in a top of the table clash in Division 3 at Tanner Park, with both sides putting unbeaten records on the line.

Douglas will be looking to keep their challenge on track as they take on near neighbours Carrigaline in a South Cork derby at Moneygourney and Dungarvan will be looking to maintain their unbeaten start to the League campaign as they welcome Charleville to West Waterford.

Dunmanway-Bantry Bay go in search of their first win as they take on Fermoy in Dunmanway and Scariff are at home to bottom side Kilrush in a Clare derby.
