First Division Play-Off, Second leg

Clontarf v UCD, Castle Avenue, 7.30

The bottom line for neutrals is that the second match tonight in the twoleg series lives up to the first as Clontarf strive to maintain their division one status in the face of a UCD challenge.

Again the students are hampered by exams. The back line remains intact but in the pack UCD have a number of injury worries and won't select a team until today. Front row Ronan McCormack, second row Colm Keane and back row Peter Shanley are being treated while number eight Des Dillon returns, not having played in the intense first match. Also back for UCD is back row Anthony Carroll. Clontarf are relatively free of injuries. In Castle Avenue tonight they will be hoping for more than a 79th-minute Richie Murphy penalty which last week saved their bacon.
