Galbally should have too much for Kinsale in Shield final

THE final of the Munster Junior Clubs Challenge Shield is the showpiece event on the Munster Junior rugby scene this weekend while the four Cup semi-finalists in the Junior Clubs Cup all face difficult away trips in the All-Ireland Cup.

Galbally and Kinsale will clash in Fermoy as they each bid to claim the Junior Challenge Shield. Both sides had very strong runs en route to the final with a series of impressive displays. Galbally; who are many people’s favourites to claim promotion are joint top with a 100% record while Kinsale suffered two early defeats but managed to defeat Newport last weekend.

The Limerick club continue to produce some tough defensive displays but have also expanded their attacking capabilities. Ian Ryan and Liam Casey are their pivotal players but they have strength throughout their side and will be confident of putting in a big performance.
