Crucial league ties still in the pipeline

MOST teams finish their League campaigns this weekend with the final full round of fixtures across all three divisions. While some of the major issues are sorted there is still plenty to play for in all three Divisions.

Things look most interesting in the battle against relegation from Division Two with five points separating the bottom four, with one team set to take the dreaded drop. Two of those sides clash as Ennis host Muskerry with the Clare side also enjoying the luxury of an extra game and they would need huge misfortune to be relegated.

They are five points clear of bottom side Charleville and a solitary bonus point from their remaining two games will guarantee safety. The Clare side should be good enough to pick up a result and their strong pack should exert immense pressure. Muskerry need a win to be sure and they will hope that players such as DJ O’Leary and Eoin Corcoran can create openings and it should be a very intense encounter.
