BUSY FIXTURES LIST NEXT WEEKEND
BUCCANEERS are home to UL Bohemian in the third round of the Energia All-Ireland League Division 2B on Saturday with the action kicking off in Dubarry Park at 2.30 p.m. This will be another tough test for the developing Pirates crew as the Limerick club come buoyed by two bonus point victories in their opening fixtures. This leaves them sharing leadership on the league table. Oisin Fagan and Joe Johnson are backs to keep an eye on while Jake Considine and Liam Neilan will be striving to be influential in the forwards battles.
BUCCANEERS Juniors are also playing at home on Saturday when they entertain Dunmore in the Bank of Ireland Connacht Junior 1A League. This floodlit match is currently listed to commence at 7.30 p.m. but kick-off time may be brought forward an hour so keep an eye on the club’s social media for any update.
BUCCANEERS U-20s commence their J.P.Fanagan Leinster League campaign away to De La Salle Palmerston on Sunday with this Premier League 2 contest kicking off at 3 p.m. Kirwan Park was the venue where the Pirates captured the Division 2 title last season with a 40-12 victory over the home side. The league has some changes to its format this year and Queen’s University are participating in this pool which also includes Clontarf, Wanderers and Seapoint. New head coach Patsy Gorman will hope that skipper Abu Saka and his teammates will hit the ground running.
