Richmond still hope for unlikely play-off spot

THE All-Ireland League round-robin series comes to a conclusion this weekend with Munster representatives Richmond needing a miracle if they are to secure themselves a play-off place.

The main battle appears to be for the runners-up spot with Seapoint looking certainties for the promotion spot.

The Dublin team need a big slip up as they face Monivea this week and given their form throughout the season, it appears the Dublin side should be able to celebrate after their trip to the Galway club. Richmond make the long trip north to play City of Derry who are battling it out with Monivea for the play-off spot and the northerners gave themselves a big boost with the victory over the Connacht side last week.
