The timing of the opening fixture allows the champions avoid a clash with Munster’s Celtic League game tomorrow and gives them an opportunity to play their first game against Blackrock College on home ground.

This weekend sees the start of the 15th season of the All-Ireland League and with a new format agreed for 2005/06, it makes for an interesting campaign.
