It is a full programme of league games in both the Ulster Bank League and Munster Junior League this weekend.

Third-placed Young Munster welcome leaders Clontarf to Tom Clifford Park in Division 1A and Limerick neighbours Garryowen, who are propping up the table, travel to the capital as they go in search of their first win of the campaign against Lansdowne at the Aviva Stadium.

Highfield will be looking to make the most of home advantage in their quest to avoid the drop as they take on Seapoint at Woodleigh Park.

Bottom side Bruff, who are still without a win, are away to Naas and Old Crescent, who are hovering above the relegation zone, lock horns with Bective Rangers at Donnybrook.

The game of the day in Division 2B sees third-placed Thomond taking on second-placed Greystones at Liam Fitzgerald Park and the home side will be aiming to claim maximum points and overtake the Wicklow side in the promotion race.
