Weekend Preview

Another weekend of Ulster Bank League and Munster Junior League action.

In Division 1A of the Ulster Bank League two Limerick sides are in the Capital as Young Munster take on top side Lansdowne at the Aviva Stadium and second-placed Garryowen are away to St Mary’s College.

Two Limerick sides battling against relegation face Cork opposition. Shannon play Cork Constitution at Coonagh and U.L. Bohemian travel to Musgrave Park to play Dolphin.

Struggling Bruff will have their work cut out in their battle against the drop to Division 2 as they welcome Division 1B leaders Ballynahinch to Kilballyowen Park.

In Division 2A third-placed UCC will be looking to make the most of home advantage in their bid to return to Division 1B as they entertain fourth-placed Banbridge at the Mardyke.

Old Crescent face a tricky task as they welcome second placed Corinthians to Rosbrien.

Struggling Midleton will have their work cut out in their battle against relegation to Division 2B as they welcome leaders Terenure College to East Cork.

Cashel and Highfield are in action in a Munster derby at the Spafield.

In Division 2B Nenagh Ormond are in action against Naas at the Kildare venue and three sides in this section are battling to preserve their Senior status.

Sunday’s Well make the long trip to Belfast to take on Instonians and Clonakilty are away to Skerries.

Thomond will be looking to make the most of home advantage count in their battle against a return to Junior ranks as they entertain City of Armagh.

There is one Munster Junior Cup tie down for decision as Garryowen take on Young Munster at Dooradoyle with the visitors expected to advance.

The final series of games in Division 1 of the Munster Junior League are down for decision and some sides are in danger of an unlikely battle against the drop should Munster Clubs be relegated from the Ulster Bank All Ireland League.

Champions Richmond are away to St Mary’s in a game with nothing more than local pride at stake.

Crosshaven and Clanwilliam who are already relegated go head to head at the South Cork venue.

St Senan’s have a tricky task on their hands as they take on League runners-up and Junior Clubs’ Challenge Cup holders Kanturk.

Waterpark entertain third-placed Skibbereen, Newcastle West are at home to County Limerick neighbours Galbally and Old Christians welcome Kilfeacle to Rathcooney.

Clonmel will have their work cut out as they take on Tralee at the Kerry venue in a bid to climb out of the danger zone.

The big game of Division 2 sees near neighbours Castleisland and Killarney go head to head at Castleisland with both sides vying to keep their promotion aspirations on track. This game is also a McElligott Cup tie.

Second-placed Mallow can climb into pole position if they can take the spoils from their away tie with Carrick-on-Suir.

Thurles are at home to fellow strugglers Newport in the Tipperary derby and bottom side Dungarvan take on Presentation at the West Waterford venue.

Youghal entertain Bandon in a vital home game for the East Cork side and Kinsale are away to Ennis in a mid-table clash.

In Division 3 bottom side Charleville who are still seeking their first League win will be looking to build on last week’s Junior Bowl victory over holders Fermoy as they entertain Kilrush.

Dunmanway-Bantry Bay who are also without a win will have their work cut out as they take on outside promotion hopefuls Ballincollig at Dunmanway.

At the top of the table leaders Killorglin are at home to Abbeyfeale and Waterford City take on Douglas at Kilbarry.
