MATCH PREVIEW

The visitors have played 3 games so far this season in the Bank of Ireland Connacht Senior League and also, they received a walk over. They had a good start beating Corinthians at home followed up by an away win over Galwegians. In their final game they relinquished their title to Sligo.
