The relegation issue will be of most concern when the Leinster Senior League resumes.

While Pembroke Wanderers, Glenanne and Corinthians are virtually sure of the top-three places in Division One and poised for the all-Ireland playoffs, there will be anxious times for the teams in the lower regions of the table.

Tomorrow, battling Railway Union are due to face Pembroke at Serpentine Avenue where the probable reappearance of Nigel Henderson, Gordon Elliott and Justin Sherriff - after their experiences with the Irish squad in Bangladesh - may be relished by the home supporters, if not Railway.

Equally, Glenanne will be hoping to have international midfielder Stephen Butler back in action for their away game against Aer Lingus who will continue to fight for every point.

Bottom-placed Dublin University also remain determined to stay in the premier division,

but they face a crucial match at Santry this weekend against Avoca, who are in a slightly vulnerable position themselves.

Monkstown, though, still with an outside chance of a top-three finish, can really regard the visit of Three Rock Rovers as no more than a mid-table encounter - unless Corinthians were surprisingly to lose ground.

Tomorrow, Corinthians are scheduled to host YMCA, whose interest is focussed on the Irish Senior Cup final against Glenanne on April 7th. Corinthians themselves have the target of meeting Pembroke in the Mills Cup final on April 1st.
