Former Leinster and Leicester Tiger hooker Gavin Hickie will start in the middle of the front row as St Mary's College go about maintaining their 100% start to the AIB League on the road to UL-Bohemian in round five on Saturday.

League leaders St Mary's College will look to take their excellent form into the AIB Senior Cup third round on the road to Garryowen this weekend.

Blackrock College co-coaches Barry Gibney and Emmett Farrell bring in prop Sean Byrne to tight-head as their only change to the leaders' side to play Clontarf at Castle Avenue.

Leaders Blackrock College will be looking to their Leinster Academy backs, like Niall Morris, Brendan Macken, Kyle Tonetti, Andrew Conway and Dave Moore, to open up Cork Constitution at Stradbrook.

Cork Constitution will be looking to take revenge over Ballynahinch when they will meet in a an AIB Senior Cup second round repeat of last season’s final at Ballymacarn Park on Saturday.

Cork Constitution will give an AIL debut to possible Ireland Under-20 second row Brian Hayes at home to UL-Bohemian at Temple Hill tomorrow.

Former Leicester Tigers hooker Gavin Hickie has returned to St Mary's College ahead of their season opener at home to Dublin rivals Clontarf at Templeville Road.

REWARDING consistency has always been a Shannon thing, and it remains so under the coaching baton of Geoff Moylan in the build up to this afternoon’s AIB League final clash with Clontarf at Thomond Park (4pm).
