Malone (2nd) v Galwegians (5th), Gibson Park

Spirits are high at Gibson Park after Malone battled past Cashel to keep pace with Armagh at the summit. The victory was marred slightly by hooker Dave Cave's hamstring injury and he will miss the next few weeks. Dan Kerr takes his place for tomorrow's clash with Galwegians.

18-year-old lock Matthew Dalton, who impressed off the bench against Cashel, joins fellow Ulster Academy forwards Peter Cooper and Joe Dunleavy in the starting pack, while Josh Pentland replaces the unavailable Callum Smith at out-half.

Like Malone, Galwegians left it late last week to overcome Blackrock 26-22 at home. Centre Brian Murphy's injury-time try got the job done, giving them a solid two wins out of three so far. In-form out-half Morgan Codyre already has 32 points to his name, with Murphy (3) and Marty Cummins (2) their chief try scorers.
