No real shocks expected in 2B. The top 3 of @wexfordwrfc @MidlandWarrior @AthyRFC should be good enough for wins over @BalbrigganRFC @arklowrfc @RoscreaRFC, while @BirrRugby will fancy their chances in @NorthMeathRFC

@EdenderryRugbyx offer hospitality to @CillDaraRFC with both struggling for real momentum in the division. Both sides are capable of a win and a Christmas fixture always has eh potential for a shock.

@mullingar_rfc have a long journey to @NewRossRFC2014. The Wexfordmen have made a great impression in 2A so far and should be capable of collecting the spoils tomorrow.

@NewbridgeRugby play a winless @portrugby1974 looking to maintain their steady progression. The visitors are struggling for form, and this will not be any easier.

@carlowrugby face @RFCRailwayUnion in a possible season defining game. Tied at the top, the winner will take a giant steps towards the title.

@portlaoiserugby have been the wrong side of a couple of results in the early stages of the league, but have shown great spirit, and are better than their table position indicates. @NKRFC will be on guard, and expecting a contest.

@KilkennyRFC travel west to @longfordrugby on the back of a big win last time out. Logic suggests that the Marble city side will have too much for their hosts, but, the midlanders have surprised many so far this season.

@SuttoniansRFC welcome leaders @TullowRFC to Dublin tomorrow. A win would blow 1B open - its not an impossible ask but the Carlowmen are seasoned campaigners.

@coolminerugby put @Clondalkin_RFC to the sword on Thursday night to leap frog their visitors in the ladder. Big post Christmas for both sides.

A weekend off for 1A clubs, as the rest of Leinster conclude their pre-Christmas schedule tomorrow.

RT @bankofireland: The draw has taken place for the first round of the @bankofireland @LeinsterBranch Provincial Towns Cup. All games to be…

@KilkennyRFC host @coolminerugby knowing that a win is vital to continue in the title shake up. The visitors are really struggling for form and need a win to relieve relegation worries

@NKRFC have put a couple of good wins together of late, and will look to build on that against @longfordrugby who slipped up in @TullowRFC last weekend. This has the potential to go either way.

Leaders @TullowRFC survived last weekend at home to @longfordrugby by the finest of margins, and will look to build on that against a @portlaoiserugby side who are slowly hitting form.

In 1B @Clondalkin_RFC welcome shell shocked @SuttoniansRFC to their home. The North Midlands side need to hit their straps soon, but the Northsiders will want to make up for last weekends surprise defeat in @portlaoiserugby

@MonkstownFC have been cut adrift, and while it is not an impossible task to avoid the drop, they have an uphill task. @WicklowRFC have found adjusting to 1A more froth with difficulty than they may originally have thought. Visitors to win.

@GoreyRFC will be focused on a win against mid table @BoyneRFC, as they try and get above the relegation play off spot. The visitors will have taken heart from their last couple of outings.

@DundalkRFC will be following the result in @ScorthyRugby very attentively, knowing that a win on the road in @DLSPFCRugby, could, if things went in their favour elsewhere, have a major impact on their destiny. @DLSPFCRugby just aren't firing over last few weeks.

It's win or bust today in @ScorthyRugby when leaders, @AshbourneRFC, come to visit. A win for the home side would blow the league wide open. A visitors win might just be the first step to collecting the trophy.

@TullowRFC host surprise packets @longfordrugby at the Black Gates. The hosts have all the cards stacked in their favour - form, home advantage, momentum and belief - that should be enough!
