Shannon and Clontarf battle for precious points

THE AIB All-Ireland League moves closer to a conclusion but the main battles are still not over.

The biggest skirmish could take place at Thomond Park this afternoon when Shannon take on Clontarf with more than bragging rights at stake.

The sides are locked on 37 points, with Shannon heading up the table by virtue of their superior points difference. But Mick Galwey’s side will not take any chances against a Clontarf side that has been equally productive with eight wins from ten.
