Free-scoring Richmond will be all out to keep up pressure on Cashel

THE two contenders for the Munster Junior League will be aiming to keep up their recent run of good form with home victories on Sunday.

Richmond currently lie three points off leaders Cashel but with the Limerick side to have home advantage when the two sides meet later in the season, they will know that the title is well within their reach. The reigning league champions have been running up some impressive scores of late with a couple of crucial bonus point victories. The scores are being spread across the team with Finbar Hogan and Ger McNamara among their key men. They host a Waterpark side that have slipped into a tough run recently but will be fired up to cause an upset.

Cashel — with Cian O’Connor and Phil Silke playing some outstanding rugby — will be expected to keep their advantage over Richmond with another win against Old Christians. The Rathcooney side are enjoying a strong campaign and with a dogged pack, the Tipperary team will be provided with a tough game but should have the strength to prevail.
