All-Ireland League Cup preview

Gavin Cummiskey

The weekend's matches

Sunday

St Mary's College v Shannon, Templeville Road

St Mary's already beat Shannon at home this season but the expected loss from the pack of Hugh Hogan and Rob Sweeney (Ireland club duty against Scotland last night) is more substantial than Shannon's representative Andrew Finn.

Mick Galway's men are expected to atone for the league defeat and set up a semi-final against Galwegians, who are should prove too strong for division two side Malone this afternoon.

The AIB Cup semi-finals, Blackrock v Clontarf and St Mary's/Shannon v Galwegians/Malone, will be played on the weekend of March 8th/9th with the final on April 12th.
