Though they didn’t have it all their own way in the opening half, St Finbarr’s turned in an eye-catching second-half exhibition of point-taking to comfortably see off the challenge of Newmarket at Mallow on Saturday night.

A GOOD first half paved the way for Milltown-Castlemaine to reach the Munster club IFC final at Mallow yesterday as they withstood a strong second-half Newmarket comeback.

NEWMARKET proved too strong for Ballinora in yesterday’s Cork Premier IFC fourth round clash at Macroom, but will have to wait for their quarter-final opponents as the second of the double headers ended in stalemate between Kiskeam and Naomh Abán.

The teams for this weekend's AIB League fixtures have been announced.

THE movement was often poor, much of the passing sloppy too, but Fermoy and Newmarket can still take a bow for an Evening Echo Cork Co U-21 FC semi-final performance in Mallow on Saturday that was full of passion and commitment, with a draw probably the right result in the end.

SHANE HORGAN accepts the chances of Leinster stealing the Celtic League title tonight are slim but, whatever the outcome, the winger is determined that he will leave for New Zealand next month with no regrets.

LEINSTER head to the Millennium Stadium earlier than anticipated but still in the hunt for some silverware.

ALAN QUINLAN could return to bolster Munster’s Celtic League bid, a month ahead of his expected return from injury.

LEINSTER bid to bounce back from the disappointment of their Heineken Cup defeat by Munster when facing the Neath Swansea Ospreys in the Celtic League at Lansdowne Road on Saturday (7.35pm).

ULSTER coach Mark McCall has opted to retain Kieran Campbell at scrum-half for Monday’s Celtic League clash against Leinster at Ravenhill (5pm).

LEINSTER coach Michael Cheika has targeted two wins from their back-to-back Heineken Cup duels with Bourgoin.

GORDON D’ARCY will partner Shane Horgan in the centre for Leinster’s critical trip to Galway to play Connacht in the Celtic League tomorrow.

University College Dublin: R McCarron; S Grissing, K Kennedy, N Kearns, D McKenna; E Hickey, B O’Riordan; J A Lee, C Geoghegan, K Doyle, B Hall, R Mandeno, S Crawford, K Croke (capt), K McLaughlin.
