Ulster Bank League: Division 1A Previews - ST. MARY'S COLLEGE vs TERENURE COLLEGE

ST. MARY'S COLLEGE (6th) v TERENURE COLLEGE (9th), Templeville Road, 3.15pm


Preview: St. Mary's are looking to do the double on neighbours Terenure in this much-anticipated local derby. Current Ireland Under-20 starlet Jordan Larmour was a try scorer in their 17-13 win at Lakelands in October.

Mary's will be wary of a 'Nure team that has strung together three recent victories and also given Cork Con a serious scrap last time out. Only three places and four points separate the Dublin 6W rivals in the table.

Claiming the match points here would be a big step towards safety for either side. If Leinster out-half Cathal Marsh starts again, he could steer the contest in Mary's favour.
