Nenagh Ormond entertain Ballynahinch in round 6 of the AIL Division 1A this Saturday (New Ormond Park KO 2.30pm).
Having lost all of their opening games, Nenagh are badly in need of a win to get their season off and running. Derek Corcoran and his management team have freshened up the selection once again, with Charlie O'Doherty coming in at out-half and Dylan Murphy returning at hooker. There is an injection of youth, with under 21 players Robbie Tynan, Fionn Higgins and Fionn O'Meara all coming into the starting lineup. Willie Coffey and Angus Blackmore return to the centre after missing out on the narrow Batemen Cup Semi-final defeat to Clontarf last week.
An improved performance in that semi-final against a very strong Clontarf outfit gives encouragement to Nenagh for this fixture but they will need to be at their very best against a highly competitive Ballynahinch team who scored a notable away victory to Cork Constitution in round 4 before falling at home more recently to a resurgent Terenure.
