After last weekend’s Cup semi-finals, it’s a full programme of National League fixtures this weekend. There is a Galway derby with Maigh Cuilinn away at Maree, their head coach John Cunningham is looking forward to the occasion. “Obviously, it’s a tough matchup on paper, given their record and the quality of the players they’ve recruited. Despite it being halfway through the season, we’re still figuring ourselves out. When we’re good, we’re a match for anyone and when we’re not, we’re well off the mark. You only have to look at our last two games to see that. The positives from last week is that we didn’t crumble when Sligo made their run and we closed out the game well despite Grant (Olssen sitting out much of the 4th quarter. He’s carried a big offensive load for us for a long time, but we’re beginning to back him up on a more consistent basis. That’s what we need to beat the top teams like Maree.”
Elsewhere, in the Women's Superleague, University of Galway Mystics are away to DCU Mercy in Dublin in Sunday, while in the Men's Division One, Titans are in Derry to play Team Northwest on Saturday afternoon.
