It’s derby night in the Ulster Bank League as Galway rivals – Corinthians and Galwegians – face each other in a crucial contest to avoid relegation. The teams drew 7-7 each back in November with both receiving penalty tries and expect another tight contest here.
We’ll keep you updated on any news as both teams look to end a run of defeats. Corinthians haven’t picked up a victory since early November. Galwegians’ last success was back in September.
