MUNSTER Junior League Division 1 champions Thomond RFC qualified for next Saturday’s All-Ireland Provincial League Championship final at Cill Dara RFC, 2.30pm, after defeating Dromore, of Ulster, 17-10 at Cill Dara RFC on Saturday last.
Thomond, who are now one win away from making a return to Division 2C the energia All-Ireland League, will take on Bective Rangers in next weekend's final.
Should Thomond lose Saturday's play-off final, they will have a second opportunity to qualify for Division 2C of the AIL the following weekend when facing an away date with Omagh who finished second-from-bottom in 2C this season.
Kevin O’Mahony’s Thomond side were ultra consistent in emerging again as the team to beat in Munster, registering a maximum 13 bonus point wins. The Fitzgerald Park side led Dromore 12-10 at half-time in Cill Dara RFC.
Thomond scored three tries on Saturday from Eoghain Sherlock, Jason Kiely, Jamie McGarry, his tenth of the season. All-Ireland Junior Cup champions and Leinster Junior League Division 1A winners Bective defeated Creggs 40-20 in their semi-final on Saturday.
