Round 2 of the Energia AIL Div 2A takes place this coming weekend. Nenagh make what will be their longest journey of the campaign when they travel to North Antrim to take on Ballymena RFC.

Ballymena do not seem to be the force of old having been relegated from 1B last season and there is interesting form line linking Nenagh's Round 1 opponents last week. Rainey beat Ballymena by 38-7 in the Ulster Rugby Premiership just a few weeks ago and Ballymena also lost on the road to MU Barnhall by a big margin (36-&) in Round 1 .
