Richmond aim to build on good start

With the crucial World Cup quarter-final taking place in Cardiff at lunch time on Sunday, there will be a curtailed fixture list in the Munster junior league this weekend. The games that are taking place are spread across the weekend; just four games are taking place in Division One, two in Division Two and three in Division Three.

On Saturday afternoon, Richmond will be aiming to maintain their strong start in the Junior League. They have a home tie against Skibbereen who have had a tough start to the season. Skibb have had tough opening games, playing last season’s champions, Clonmel, last time out. Richmond, with key players like Mike Kelleher and Jeff McNamara are certainly a force to be reckoned with at this level.

Like Richmond, Kilfeacle have made a very strong start to their campaign with nine points from their opening two matches. While both games were close, the wins will be breeding confidence in the side. Shane Looby is a key figure while Paddy Bourke has also been to the fore for Kilfeacle. They can’t afford complacency at home to a pointless Galbally. Galbally have played both Clonmel and Richmond but will have had a boost in confidence from their cup win over Waterpark. This game is a tough follow up, but with a vocal crowd behind them Kilfeacle should secure a win.
