Weekend Preview And Fixtures

The Ulster Bank All Ireland League continues with a full program of games across all four Divisions as well as the opening round of the All Ireland Junior Cup.

UCC and Highfield get the show on the road as they go head to head in an Ulster Bank Division 2A League local derby under lights at the Mardyke on Friday evening. The College boosted by their cup win last week will start as favourites against a Highfield team that only recorded their first win of the season last week against Thomond.

In Division 1A leaders Cork Constitution travel to the Capital to take on Old Belvedere at Anglesea Road and will be hoping to make it three wins from three.

Leeside neighbours Dolphin, who are in second place, welcome Clontarf to Musgrave Park and will hope to bounce back after last week’s surprise Cup defeat by Shannon.
.
Third-placed Young Munster take on holders Lansdowne at the Aviva Stadium and bottom side Garryowen will have their work cut out when they entertain UCD at Dooradoyle.

In Division 1B Shannon lock horns with Dungannon at Coonagh and boosted by last week’s Cup success will hope to get their first win of the campaign.

Limerick neighbours UL Bohemian make the long trip to Belfast to take on Malone at Gibson Park and will do well to return home with at least a bonus point.

Old Crescent will be looking to get their second win of the campaogn in Division 2A when they entertain Rainey Old Boys at Rosbrien.

Cashel are at home to Galwegians in a mid-table encounter and Bruff entertain Bective Rangers in a basement clash at Kilballyowen Park.

Its top against bottom in Division 2B as leaders Nenagh Ormond welcome Sunday’s Well to North Tipperary and the home side should preserve their hundred percent record.

Midleton take on Suttonians at Towns Park but the game of the day should be the meeting of Thomond and Richmond at Liam Fitzgerald Park.

The All Ireland Junior Cup gets underway on Saturday with four Munster sides in action.
Last season’s Munster Junior Clubs’ Challenge Cup holders Kanturk make the long trip to County Tyrone to take on Clogher Valley at the Cran in Fivemiletown and Kilfeacle go head to head with OLBC at the Galway Sportsground.

Skibbereen welcome Ballina to the Carbery Showgrounds and Tralee entertain former AIL side Wanderers at O’Dowd Park.

Crosshaven have a home quarter final tie against near neighbours Carrigaline in the O’Neill Cup on Saturday and there are two rescheduled games in the Munster Junior League down for decision on Sunday.
In Division 2, Killarney welcome Youghal to the Kingdom and in Division 3, Carrick-on-Suir are at home to Scariff.
