Buccaneers are away to leaders Old Belvedere in their refixed AIB League division 1B game at Anglesea Road, Dublin, on Sunday January 31. The original scheduled match fell victim to the bad weather a couple of weeks ago and has been slotted in for Sunday as Buccaneers host the AIB Cup finals on Saturday.

David Clarke’s fine drop goal in the heavy fog at Crowley Park saw Galwegians secure a narrow 12-11 victory over their Connacht rivals Buccaneers on Saturday. Most games between Connacht’s leading two sides are keenly contested, but there will hardly be a closer affair with a more dramatic finish than this encounter. And although the quality was not always top drawer at times in a game littered with mistakes, it was a tense nail-biting affair which had both sets of supporters living on their nerves right up to the very last second. This match was preceded by a minute’s silence to mark the recent passing of the late Bobby Deacy, Galwegians’ trustee and ex-president of the IRFU. The game itself was played in dense fog, which made visibility difficult for both teams, but it was the visitors who started much the brighter.
