North County can consolidate their strong claims for section A honours in the Whitney Moore and Keller Leinster Senior League when they face neighbours and keen rivals The Hills at The Nevitt tomorrow (12.30).
The Balrothery side have four victories from their five matches played so far and on current form should be capable of continuing their winning run particulary if consistent run-getters Andrea Botha and the Armstrong brothers perform to their potential.
Full strength Clontarf have a double engagement this weekend they host Cup holders YMCA tomorrow, and make the short journey to joust with Phoenix in the Phoenix Park on Sunday. They will be looking for another big innings from Tinnis Fourie, who scored 129 not out against The Hills last weekend.
Merrion, who replay their Irish Senior Cup semi-final tie with North County on Thursday at Anglesea Road, will be looking for a timely boost for that important engagement when they play CYM who will be without the services of Colm Morgan at Anglesea Rd on Sunday.
In section B Leinster make the long journey south to tackle free-scoring Munster Reds at The Mardyke, while in the remaining matches Malahide and Rush engage each other twice.
