Weekend Club Preview And Fixtures
28th November 2014 By Munster Rugby
A busy weekend with seven Munster Senior Cup ties down for decision as well as a full programme of league games across all Three Divisions of the Munster Junior League.
The quarter-finals of the Munster Senior Challenge Cup are down for decision this Saturday as holders Cork Constitution continue their defence of the trophy with a home tie against Bruff. The winners will have a home semi-final tie against Young Munster or Thomond who go head to head in a Limerick City derby at Tom Clifford Park.
2012 finalists UL Bohemian welcome Dolphin to Annacotty and the winners will be at home to Garryowen or Cashel who lock horns at Dooradoyle.
There are also three Cyril Fitzgerald Plate Quarter Finals taking place on Saturday.
Sunday’s Well take on Midleton at Irish Independent Park with the winners at home to UCC in the semi finals.
Nenagh Ormond, who have won the trophy each of the last two seasons, continue their defence of the trophy against Old Crescent at the North Tipperary venue. The winners will be away to Richmond or Shannon who go head to head at Richmond Park.
The Munster Junior League resumes with a full programme of games across all Three Divisions.
Division 1 leaders Newcastle West will be looking to bounce back from two recent defeats in knock-out competitions as they travel to the Kingdom to take on struggling Tralee.
Second-placed Clonmel will be aiming to keep their challenge alive as they entertain Skibbereen at the South Tipperary venue.
Cobh Pirates, who are hovering above the drop zone, will be looking to make the most of home advantage as they aim to grind out a valuable home win against Waterpark in their bid to avoid relegation.
Muskerry, who are joint third with Clonakilty, face a tough assignment as they travel to the Premier County to take on Kilfeacle, while Clonakilty meet Old Christians at Rathcooney.
St Senan’s are at home to St Mary’s in a mid-table clash and Kinsale, who are still without a win, are at home to fellow strugglers Galbally.
Bandon, who are runaway leaders in Division 2, will be looking to extend their lead as they welcome fourth-placed Mallow to Old Chapel.
Clanwilliam and Castleisland, who are Bandon’s nearest challengers, lock horns in Tipperary Town with both sides sharing second place.
Killarney, who are hovering above the drop zone, face a tricky task as they entertain promotion chasing Thurles.
Ballincollig are at home to Waterford City in a mid-table clash and Newport and Ennis, who are battling to avoid the drop to Division 3, go head to head at the Tipperary venue.
Crosshaven, who are propping up the table, will be looking to make the most of home advantage in a bid to record their first win of the campaign as they welcome Abbeyfeale to South Cork.
Fellow strugglers Youghal will have their work cut out as they travel to Limerick to take on Presentation at Rathuard.
With Dungarvan, who hold a seven-point lead at the top of Division 3 not playing this weekend, their nearest challengers Douglas will be aiming to reduce the gap as they take on Scariff at Moneygourney.
Third-placed Fermoy are away to fourth-placed Charleville in a North Cork derby and Fermoy will be looking to keep their challenge for promotion on track and avenge their recent 25-13 home defeat by Charleville in the Martin O'Sullivan Cup semi final.
Killorglin will be aiming to record their first win of the campaign as they entertain Fethard and Bantry Bay are at home to Carrigaline in a Cork derby.
