Coughlan C&S
Neptune will welcome Moycullen to their stadium Saturday evening in Cork.
Moycullen will look to call a halt to their recent slide, dropping the last
four games in a row.

Neptune were
unfortunate in their loss against Killester, seeing five different players post
15-points or more on the night. Player-coach Lehmon Colbert will hope for more
of the same this weekend with both sides determined for a victory.

Galway side,
Maree, will face up against the team a spot above them on the Super League
ladder, Pyrobel Killester, when they take to Calascantius College in the late
game Saturday evening.

Killester will
hope the scoring of Kason Harrell (26) and Tomas Fernandez (26) will carry over
into this mid-table matchup.

Maree will look to put their last game behind them, with the match being essentially over as a contest before halftime against Templeogue.

Singleton SuperValu Brunell v DCU Mercy, Parochial Hall, 15:00;

==

Maree play host
to Pyrobel Killester in what promises to be a close encounter. Killester could
do the table-topping DCU Mercy a favour, by keeping the gap at six-points
before they tip-off a day later.

Maree will hope the form of Claire Rockall and Carly McClendon will shine through, in a win that would maintain their hounding pressure on DCU Mercy.

Portlaoise
Panthers will look to keep the pressure on their opponents at the top of the
conference when they play NUIG Mystics in Galway.

Mystics
struggled against St Marys last weekend, so Panthers will be full of confidence
when they make the journey west.
