Shannon braced for Garryowen onslaught in battle of giants
The champions, and recently crowned club of the year, expect the light blues to throw everything at them in a bid to win Limerick bragging rights.
Shannon’s coach Mick Galwey admitted: “They have beaten us for the last two years in the league section, although we did manage to put one over them in last year’s semi-final. The thing about playing Garryowen is that form doesn’t really count. Form goes out the window because the rivalry is so great,” he said.
