Itโ€™s with a spring in their step that Alan Kennedy-captained Young Munster – fresh from an excellent 32-17 home win over City of Armagh – make the long trip to face Ballynahinch (Down) in Division 1A of the AIL on Saturday.

At Tom Clifford Park, Kegan Christian-Goss, Fintan Coleman, Fionn Gibney, and Stephen McLoughlin all crossed for tries, while Shane Oโ€™Leary landed three conversions and a couple of penalties.

Elsewhere in the top-flight, Shannon, soundly beaten by holders Terenure College at the weekend, entertain bottom side Dublin University at Thomond Park, while in 1B Bryan Fitzgerald-led Garryowen, who impressed in a 32-26 home defeat of Blackrock College on Saturday, travel to basement outfit Bucaneers.
