This Weeks Fixtures

The Ulster Bank All Ireland League continues this weekend with a full programme in both sections of Division 1 and there are six Munster Junior Cup ties also down for decision.

Shannon will have their work cut out as they look to continue their battle against the drop to Division 1B as they take on Dolphin at Musgrave Park. The home side are boosted by two recent wins that have seen them shot up to fifth and will be hoping to make it three wins in a row.

Young Munster welcome Cork Constitution to Tom Clifford Park. Both sides have gone off the boil in recent weeks and both will be looking to get back to winning ways with ‘Munsters will be looking to make the most of home advantage in a bid to avenge last October’s narrow 21-20 defeat by the Lilywhites at Temple Hill.

Two sides with contrasting fortunes go head to head as bottom side U.L. Bohemian entertain second-placed Clontarf at Annacotty and Garryowen are at home to struggling Old Belvedere.

Bruff who are in grave danger of relegation from Division 1B are away to Blackrock College.

There are six Munster Junior Cup ties down for decision as North Cork neighbours Kanturk and Mallow get proceedings underway on Saturday at the Duhallow venue.

Both of last year’s Junior Cup finalists are still in the competition as holders Cork Constitution continue their defence of the trophy with a home tie against Old Christians and runners up Skibbereen welcome Cobh Pirates to the Carbery Showgrounds.

Kinsale who have recorded successive wins over Senior Club sides Thomond and Midleton in recent weeks are away to Kilfeacle.

In other ties Ennis are at home to Clonmel and Highfield entertain Tralee at Woodleigh Park.

In the Junior Plate quarter finals, Killarney will be looking to make it two wins out of two over Bandon as they already defeated the West Cork side 17-9 in Division 2 of the Junior League at the Kerry venue in November. The Kingdom side, whose slim promotion hopes were ended by a recent defeat against near neighbours Castleisland will also be eager to regain the trophy they won two years ago.

Elsewhere Bruff entertain Thurles at Kilballyowen Park.

In the only game in Division 3 of the Munster Junior League Ballincollig will be looking to make the most of home advantage against Kilrush and keep their aspirations of a quick return to Division 2 on track.
