WITH the two lower divisions off this weekend, only four Limerick clubs are in action. With only two of these sides managing victories last time out, better results will hopefully come this weekend.
Ulster Bank League Division 1A
Sat-10-Jan at 2:30pm
Young Munster v Terenure College
Young Munster’s will be desperate to kick start some post-Christmas momentum after suffering a surprise loss to Dolphin last week. However, Terenure will not faze John Staunton’s men as they have been on a dismal run of form of late with one win in four. The Dublin side still hold second place in the league though and will be fierce opposition for the Cookies.
Verdict: Terenure
Ulster Bank League Divison 1B
Sat-10-Jan at 2:30pm
Buccaneers v Shannon
Shannon look to be on the up after a fine win against Galwegians last week. Ian Sherwin’s men have climbed up to seventh in the league table and are in fine form. Buccaneers will provide another huge test for the Shannonsiders as they look to bounce back from a damaging defeat to Garryowen last week. Buccaneers currently lie fifth and will need to win to keep up any hopes of promotion.
Verdict : Buccaneers
Sat-10-Jan at 2:30pm
Corinthians v Garryowen
With promotion now a realistic objective for Paul Neville’s Sky Blues, they will look to build on last weekend’s win with another against their hosts Corinthians, who have struggled badly this season and lie just three places from bottom after a defeat to Malone last time out. Being at home should give them some fighting spirit but Garryowen should pose too strong a threat this time.
Verdict: Garryowen
Sat-10-Jan at 2:30pm
U.L Bohemians v Galwegians
After a bright start to the campaign, Colm Tucker’s side have gone sharply downhill and are now staring a relegation battle in the face. It won’t get any easier after a heavy loss to Dublin University as they now face a Galwegians side sure to be fired up after a shock loss to Shannon last week. Galwegians currently sit top and after seeing their lead to Ballymena cut to a solitary point last weekend, they cannot afford anther slip up.
Verdict: Galwegians
