Clonmel braced for weekend drama

A crucial weekend in the Munster junior league is in store as title contenders Clonmel and Newcastle West square off.

With both unbeaten thus far and locked on 32 points, the outcome of this one will go a long way in deciding the destination of the league crown.

Conor Cooney has been instrumental in Clonmel’s success to date, his accurate kicking setting up a strong platform, while also being central to numerous attacks. The experience of Neville Melbourne is another asset and they will be eager to win the crucial forward battle.
