Prendergast relishing four ‘cup finals’ run-in

Today is one of Young Munster’s latest D-Days as they go in search of a first Ulster Bank All Ireland League title since 1993 with a crunch game against leaders Clontarf at Clifford Park (2.30pm).

Young Munster’s head coach Mike Prendergast hasn’t had to lay it on the line for his charges but if they succeed in turning the tables on the leaders, destiny is in their own hands with matches against fellow title contenders Lansdowne and St Mary’s College to come, plus a tricky assignment against Dolphin who beat them at Musgrave Park earlier in the season.

The three headline teams have 11 wins and three defeats each, but Clontarf and St Mary’s are three and two points ahead of the Limerick outfit due to a better bonus point return.
