Weekend AIL Preview

There is another busy weekend of league action in the Ulster Bank All Ireland League ahead.

In Division 1A of the AIL, second placed Young Munster travel to the capital to take on Dublin University at College Park. This will be a tricky assignment for the Limerick side as Trinity will be seeking their first home win, following away victories over St Mary’s College and Terenure College.

Garryowen, who are fourth, also travel to Dublin to take on defending champions Clontarf, who are seventh. The Light Blues will be looking to build on their home win over Cork Constitution last time out in a bid to climb further up the table.

Last season’s finalists Cork Con, who are propping up the table, will have their work cut out as they entertain leaders and former champions Lansdowne at Temple Hill.

Dolphin, who recorded their first win of the campaign against Galwegians at Irish Independent Park last week, make the long trip north to take on Ballymena.
