All-Ireland League: Who would have believed something positive could come out of the mess the IRFU find themselves in over the Division Two final? Switching this fixture from Anglesea Road back to Lansdowne Road in place of the postponed Terenure and Dolphin match is the one good decision to be made this week.
Clonakilty v Suttonians Lansdowne Road, 2.0
It also means the people of Clonakilty can rearrange transport to leave West Cork in mid-morning as distinct from some ungodly hour.
Both teams have already been promoted to Division Two so today is very much a reward for the players after a marathon 16-game season.
Clonakilty come in as slight favourites having finished six points clear of today's opponents in the regular season. They also convincingly beat Bruff, 24-3, last weekend, though Suttonians also looked impressive in the 23-10 win over Wanderers.
