#EnergiaAIL Live Streams: Round 18 Updates & Young Munster v Cork Constitution

Final placings in the Energia All-Ireland League Men’s Divisions will be confirmed in this weekend’s Round 18 as promotion/relegation status looms large for a host of clubs.

Today’s live stream from Tom Clifford Park will feature score updates from all games as well as live commentary of Young Munster v Cork Constitution with the Club Scene Podcast team, powered by Energia.

Clontarf are also live streaming their home game against UCD.

Ballynahinch’s regular live streaming of their home games continues with the Round 18 game versus Lansdowne.

The 10^th placed finisher in each division is automatically relegated while the ninth placed team in each division will end up in a promotion/relegation playoff semi-final.

City Of Armagh (Men’s Division 1B), Greystones (Men’s Division 2B) and Instonians (Men’s Division 2C) are already confirmed as divisional champions while Queen’s University (1^st) and Blackrock College (2^nd) are still vying for silverware in Men’s Division 2A.

There are still teams fighting for top-four finishes and a place in the promotion/relegation playoff semi-finals – it will come down to fine margins.

The following (in order) will separate teams who finish level on points in the table:

• League Points
• Points Difference +/-
• Number Of Wins
• Number Of Draws
• Number Of Tries Scored
• Head-To-Head Between Two (or more) Clubs Based On League Points Earned

Energia All-Ireland League Men’s Division 1A:

3 teams will be fighting to guarantee their safety in Men’s Division 1A teams while the order of the semi-finalists can still change.

As it stands, Clontarf (1^st) will host Young Munster (4^th) in a Men’s Division 1A semi-final on Saturday April 22^nd. Young Munster can only finish fourth while Clontarf need at least 1pt from their game against UCD to stay top.

The other semi-final on April 22^nd as it stands would be Terenure College (2^nd) at home to Cork Constitution (3^rd). Cork Con could move into second and stay at home for their semi-final with a win at Young Munster, but only if ‘Nure fail to get a result against Shannon.

It’s a must-win game for 9^th placed Shannon if they want to move out of the relegation play-off position. If they manage it, then Dublin University and UCD would need results against relegated Garryowen and Clontarf respectively. Ballynahinch (5^th) round out their campaign against Lansdowne (6^th).
