Universal Graphics Junior Football Championship Round 1B
Clones v Corduff, Saturday, 7.00, Cremartin
The only JFC game of the weekend sees Clones go in as strong favourites against Corduff in Cremartin on Saturday evening.
Clones lost to Blackhill in the first round, but have been in good form in the league to secure their place in the top half, while Corduff have yet to earn a point since entering a junior team and they fell to a heavy defeat against Seán McDermotts in their championship opener. Fintan Kelly, James Mealiff, Adrian Alford, Darragh Holland, Eoin McQuaid and Colm Connolly are key players for Clones, who should be comfortable winners.
