Unbeaten Skibbereen braced for tough trip to Galbally

SKIBBEREEN continue to lead the way at the top of Division 1 of the Munster Junior League, with five teams just behind them.

The west Cork side remain the only unbeaten team but face a very tough run of fixtures before the New Year, with this weekend’s trip to Galbally will be their toughest assignment to date. They will be ready for a difficult day but have proven themselves capable of getting out of sticky situations to win their last couple of matches with a skilful backline aligned with a fearsome pack that can last the pace and will be ready to strike if things are in the balance going into the final quarter.

Galbally suffered their first league defeat in nearly two years at Waterpark last weekend and will be eager to bounce back immediately. A lack of discipline has cost them with red cards in the last two games but on their own soil they still possess a team capable of matching anyone.
