Clonmel can continue fine start with win over Christians

While the group decider in the Rugby World Cup with France will take centre stage this weekend, there is plenty of local action with some big matches in each of the Divisional Cups.

In the Junior Clubs Challenge Cup, Clonmel will be strong favourites to retain their trophy. They have started the season impressively with two good wins and once again look the team to beat. Old Christians are given the unenviable task of travelling to South Tipperary to try to topple the Cup holders.

However, Old Christians have also made a strong start to the season themselves with the consistent Sean Meaney proving a key player so far. However, Clonmel should be too strong.
