Allianz NHL Division 3A - Round 4 fixture at home this Saturday, 2pm
Derek Frehill’s side must now beat Monaghan in their remaining league fixture at Glennon Brothers Pearse Park this Saturday (2pm) to avoid the drop into Division 3B next season with some supporters allowed to attend this crucial game.
