Impressive Cashel set to welcome Premier rivals Clonmel

THERE were several eye-catching performances in the opening round of the Munster Junior League with several of the title contenders impressing.

Cashel’s 76-12 demolition of Ballincollig was the big talking point of the weekend but the victors face a much tougher prospect on Sunday at home to Clonmel. Clonmel, who required a late fight-back to overcome Skibbereen (25-15), are desperate to avenge a Cup semi-final loss to their Tipperary rivals.

Richmond won’t relinquish their title easily and impressed with a bonus point win away to Old Christians. They should build on that good start with a home win over a Kilfeacle side who lost to Clanwilliam last time out.
