Shannon face opening trip to St Mary's in title defence

Last year's AIB League champions Shannon, UL Bohemians and Greystones will all face away trips when the league resumes for the 2005/06 season in October.

Mick Galwey's Shannon side, who claimed the Division One title for the seventh time in May, will travel to promoted St Mary's College on Saturday, October 15 - the opening day of the season across all three divisions.
