No point in hanging around. Let’s get straight into it.
Division 1A
Lansdowne v Garryowen 2.30pm
Saturday January 25, Aviva Stadium
EDDIE O’Sullivan has come on board to help Garryowen avoid the drop. It seems to be too little too late for the light blues, but a win over fourth placed Lansdowne would be a good start if they are to survive.
Prediction: Lansdowne
Division 1A
Young Munster v Clontarf 2.30pm
Saturday January 25, Greenfields
THE game of the weekend as first plays third. Clontarf are 8-1 from their nine games and if Young Munster can nip this one, the league title could still be in sight.
Prediction: Clontarf to be too strong
Division 1B
Blackrock v Shannon 2.30pm
Saturday January 25, Stradbrook
SHANNON will know that Blackrock are there for the taking at home and with the Coonagh men getting better as the season goes on, a win can be expected.
Prediction: Shannon
Division 1B
UL Bohemians v Terenure 2.30pm
Saturday January 25, Annacotty
IF there is one team who can beat anyone on their day it is Colm Tucker’s Bohemians. Terenure are unbeaten and look locked on to win the title. Unless of course they slip up here.
Prediction: Terenure in a close one.
In division 2A, Old Crescent travel to Bective knowing that a win is needed to move themselves away from the drop zone. Bruff, currently without a win, travel to tenth placed Naas looking for some hope for 2014.
In division 2B, tenth placed Richmond take on Sunday’s Well at Musgrave Park in what is a very winnable game for the green and whites.
Their near neighbours and divisional rivals Thomond take on Greystone at Fitzgerald Stdium in a fourth plays second in the table clash.
