In-form Pirates look to sink high-flying Clonmel

It is a busy weekend of cup action with two finals down for decision and a series of intriguing encounters throughout the province.

The headline game is the Clubs Cup decider between Cobh Pirates and Clonmel in Fermoy. The Tipperary outfit, backboned by John Cooney and Neville Melbourne, are hot favourites given their tremendous league run.

The Pirates reside at the other end of the league table but have hit form in recent weeks. The kicking of Eoin Geary will be crucial to their chances as they bid to atone for last year’s decider defeat to St Mary’s.
