Nenagh set to bounce back against basement side Richmond

THE gap between the top sides and the rest of the clubs in the First Division of the Heineken Munster Junior League is expected to widen after this weekend’s games.

Leaders Nenagh Ormond will want to shake off the disappointment of last week’s defeat at Bruff by collecting all five points from their game away to Richmond, who are bottom of the table, and still looking for their first win of the season.

Bruff, whose hopes of retaining their title received a great boost by that victory last week, travel to Shannon to face St. Senan’s. While they will be expected to collect the points, a bonus point would be a big plus in their quest for their third title. The Clare side can be difficult to beat, especially on their home patch and the champions will treat them with the greatest respect.
