Another Busy Weekend with vital League games to be decided
9th January 2006 By Munster Rugby
The Fixtures for the coming weekend sees some vital games in both the AIL and Junior League
Another big weekend in the various leagues with the meeting of Shannon and Cork Constitution in the AIL being the top game of the weekend.
Shannon will be seeking revenge for their AIB All Ireland Cup defeat by the Cork side when the sides meet at Thomond Park in a vital AIB All Ireland League First Division tie.
Garryowen will hope to continue their challenge with a home victory over Buccaneers, while UL Bohes face a difficult task away to Belfast Harlequins.
Young Munster face a tricky encounter at home to Barnhall as they aim to keep their Second Division promotion hopes alive, while Dolphin should pick up the points at home to Ballynahinch.
Clonakilty after their surprising defeat last week in Dublin should get back to winning ways with a home victory over Old Wesley in the Third Division. Nenagh Ormond should keep their challenge on track with a victory at home to City of Derry, while Bruff face a tricky encounter away to Corinthians on Sunday.
In the Heineken Munster Junior League the final two places should be known for the play offs, with Kilfeacle expected to get the points at Charleville and so deprive Cashel of their place in the knock out stages in the Junior League and Kanturk who must beat Skibbereen by at least eight points and also earn a bonus point may find this task beyond them to deprive the West Cork side of their place in the play offs.
