Young Munster face a tricky task as they travel to Dublin to take on third-placed Terenure College at Lakelands Park.

In Division 1B there is a top of the table clash at Crowley Park as third-placed UL Bohemian take on leaders Galwegians.

Garryowen, who are fourth, are also in action against Galway opposition as they entertain Corinthians at Dooradoyle.

Home advantage at Thomond Park will be vital for Shannon as they go in search of their first win of the campaign against Buccaneers.

The Munster Junior League commences with a full programme of games in Divisions 1 and 2.

On Sunday, Mallow, who were relegated after one season in the top flight, welcome Clanwilliam to St Joseph’s Road.

Division 3 champions Ballincollig have been handed a tricky assignment as they travel to Limerick to take on Presentation at Rathuard.

Runners-up Abbeyfeale are away to Ennis, who avoided the drop.

Youghal welcome Castleisland to East Cork, Killarney are away to Crosshaven and Waterford City are at home to Thurles.

There is one tie down for decision in the Martin O’Sullivan Cup as Fethard mark their debut in the competition against Carrigaline at the South Cork venue.

Holders Cork Constitution and Highfield lock horns in the Dennehy Cup final at Woodleigh Park.
