Make-or-break games in AIL

IT’S bite-your-fingernails and turn-up-that-radio day in the AIB All-Ireland League.

The drama centres on the top and bottom of Divisions One and Two, with the only clear-cut issue being promotion from the third division, where Greystones are already guaranteed Division Two rugby next season. Clonakilty could join them, and are guaranteed a play-off against Barnhall, Highfield or Waterpark, who are all involved in a grim battle for Division Two survival.

Waterpark must pick up something from their home game against Old Belvedere to keep alive their hopes of avoiding a play-off. Highfield are also at home - to Malone - and the Cork club will be hoping that, having been on the wrong end of several close games this season, luck turns for them.
