Nenagh can clinch last 16 date with Highfield

NENAGH ORMOND begin the defence of their Heineken Munster Junior Cup title with a visit to Clifford Park to take on Young Munster, while Cork Constitution face Ballincollig in the other outstanding second round tie of the weekend.

Nenagh’s ambition this season is to win their first Munster Junior League title and become the first Tipperary side to qualify for the All-Ireland League. They have been firing on all cylinders since their defeat in the opening league game against Youghal, picking up a bonus point in each of their subsequent ties.

Young Munster have already had an outing in this competition, beating St. Senan’s with a last minute drop goal from Jeff Purcell.
