Garryowen come into the game following a confidence boosting derby win over rivals Young Munster in their division 1A clash last week in Dooradoyle.

It was a second victory over the cookies this season for Conan Doyle’s side, as the light blues ran out 45-10 winners when the sides met in the quarter final stages of the Charity Cup at the end of August.

Nenagh Ormond currently lie in fourth spot in divsion 2A, saw off Limerick side UL Bohemian to reach this Friday’s decider, while Garryowen defeated Old Crescent to progress.
