Clonmel and Bandon set for intriguing cup battle

With all the focus being on the Aviva with a potential Grand Slam decider on Sunday, it will be a relatively quiet weekend on the Junior rugby front.

However, there are a couple of games taking place tomorrow, including one of the most interesting Junior Cup matches in the early rounds.

Leaders in the top two Divisions; Clonmel and Bandon will battle it out at the Tipperary venue. Both clubs were unable to claim their respective league titles last weekend, with Clonmel’s match being postponed due to the weather, while Bandon were upset by second placed Clanwilliam at home. The two teams are still strongly placed to win their leagues and have each claimed their respective divisional cup competitions.
