FIXTURES THIS WEEKEND

BUCCS HOME TO BALLINA

BUCCANEERS third round fixture in the Bank of Ireland Connacht Senior League is a scheduled game against Ballina at Dubarry Park on Saturday next, kick of 2.30 p.m. The Mayo club suffered a heavy defeat against Sligo in their opening match and, I understand, did not field against Corinthians last weekend. Consequently, there is some doubt about this game going ahead at time of writing so check the club’s social media for updates later in the week. Hopefully, the north-westerners will regroup and travel to Athlone.

SECONDS & THIRDS IN CURLEY CUP ACTION

Buccaneers Seconds are also starting their Curley Cup campaign with a tricky assignment away to Oughterard on Sunday with the action getting under way at their Clifden Road ground at 2.30 p.m.

Buccaneers Thirds are due to commence their season with a difficult opener away to Corinthians Seconds in the Curley Cup at Corinthian Park on Saturday, kick off 7 p.m.
