Joanne Tips History

Cobh Ramblers are second in the league and have taken points from eleven of their twelve matches at home in the league with eight wins, three draws and one defeat so should take something from this match with Cabinteely losing their last three matches without scoring and they have't beat Cobh Ramblers at home previously.

Munster have won five of their last six meetings against Ospreys when they met in the semi final of the pro 12 in May Munster won 23-3 they go into this match in better form than their opponents winning both their matches in the group so far beating Treviso 34-3 and Cheetahs 51-18. Ospreys have won just one of their last five matches and were beaten by Glasgow 31-10 in their last match.

Munster go into this match in better form and should have the edge over Ospreys against in their last meetings at Ospreys there was only two points between the sides with Munster winning and that should be the same outcome again Munster winning by 1-12 points.

Sorelle Delle Rose won a handicap last time out at the course over 7f beating Uno Momento by 2¾l the step up to a mile shouldn't be a problem and Dermot Weld & Pat Smullen won the race last year.

Moghamarah has been runner up in both her starts and hasn't been beaten far she was ½l behind Shekiba last time out at Galway over 7f now steps up to a mile she should go close again.

This is the first meeting between the two sides and Leinster are in better form having won their first two matches beating Dragons 39-16 and Cardiff Blues 37-9 and have scored nine tries over the two matches. Southern Kings have been well beaten in their two matches by Connacht 32-10 & Southern Kings 57-10 this will be another tough match for them.

Southern Kings have home advantage and go into this match after two defeats in the campaign losing to Connacht 32-10 and Scarlets 57-10. Leinster have won both their matches beating Dragons by 23 points and ran out 28 point winners against Cardiff Blues they should win this match by more than 13 points.

Waterford are top of the league on 53 points with 15 wins, eight draws and two defeats Wexford Youths are in 7th place on 19 points with four wins, seven draws and 14 defeats. Waterford have won the last four meetings against Wexford Youth and should be too good.

Bohemians are 6th in the league on 34 points and Drogheda are at the bottom of the table on 18 points from 26 matches played they have won just four with six draws and 16 defeats and conceded 51 league goals. Bohemians have scored 25 goals and conceded 35 they should have the edge in a low scoring match.

Shelbourne have won the last four meetings against Athlone Town the most recent 3-1 in the league in July and Shelbourne had a 2-0 lead at half time. Athlone Town have conceded 15 goals in their last three matches losing to Cobh Ramblers 1-0, Cork City 7-0 and Longford 7-1 they could struggle again away from home.

Edinburgh have won both their matches in this campaign beating Cardiff Blues 20-10 and Dragons 35-18. Treviso have lost both their matches losing to Munster 34-3 and Ulster 21-14 they won the last meeting between the sides 21-6 but they struggle away from home and Edinburgh have won five of the last six matches against Treviso.

Edinburgh have only lost at home to Treviso once that was in 2012 and they have had some big wins against them the time they met was away at Treviso and Treviso won 21-6 they rarely win away from home and have lost both their opening matches against Munster & Ulster whereas Edinburgh have beaten Cardiff and beat Dragons 35-18 in their last match they should win this match by more than 13 points.

Kylecrue has already run twice at the festival winning on the opening day and pulled up in the Kerry national on Wednesday he is a four time winner over c&d and won this race last year looks good value in this race against just four rivals.
