Click here for the full fixture list.

Cork Constitution and Dolphin go head to head in the Cork Charity Cup decider at Woodleigh Park on Friday night, with the Temple Hill side aiming for their 42nd title.

Munster Junior League Division 1 leaders Clonmel travel to the Kingdom to take on Tralee for the second time this season Clonmel put up 28 points without reply in the quarter finals of the Munster Junior Clubs’ Challenge Cup. Both sides have contrasting fortunes with Clonmel chasing the title, while Tralee with two away wins over Galbally and Old Christians look relegation certainties.

Second-placed Newcastle West will be looking to claim maximum points from their home tie with Clonakilty and effectively end the West Cork side’s hopes of a top-four finish.

St Senan’s and Kilfeacle who are both chasing a top-four finish lock horns at Jimmy Slattery Park and the Clare side will be looking to make the most of home advantage count if they are to avenge November’s’ 24-18 defeat by the same opposition at the Tipperary venue in the Challenge Cup.

Muskerry, who are fifth, will be looking to keep their outside chances of finishing in the top four intact as they travel to Suirside to take on Waterpark.

Kinsale, who are propping up the table are away to St Mary’s and Cobh Pirates and Old Christians, who are hovering above the drop zone on 15 points each, go head to head at Rathcooney. The losers of this game may be relegated should Richmond return to Junior ranks from the AIL

Galbally travel to Skibbereen and the home side will want to bounce back after last week’s shock Cup defeat by Waterford City. Galbally will hope to grind out another valuable win in their bid to preserve their top flight status.

Bandon, who are runaway leaders in Division 2 are away to Castleisland and second-placed Clanwilliam, who look certain to be joining the West Cork side in the top flight welcome Presentation to Tipperary Town.

Third-placed Thurles are at home to bottom side Crosshaven and Killarney are at home to Ballincollig in a basement clash.

Fellow strugglers Youghal are away to Waterford City and there are two mid-table clashes as Abbeyfeale take on Newport at the West Limerick venue and Ennis entertain Mallow.

The curtain comes down on proceedings in Division 3 as champions Dungarvan will be presented with their trophy after Sunday’s home meeting with fourth-placed Fethard.

Douglas have completed their programme and they are currently in second place behind the West Waterford side.

Martin O’Sullivan Cup winners Charleville are away to Bantry Bay and a win is vital if the North Cork side are to overtake Douglas and join Dungarvan in Division 2 next season.

Carrigaline who are propping up the table face a tricky task as they take on Fermoy at the Showgrounds in a bid to build on last week’s morale-boosting Munster Junior Cup victory over Dolphin.

Scariff and Killorglin complete their campaign at the East Clare venue.
