Naas (2nd) v Malone (6th), Forenaughts, 4.30pm

Naas notched up an impressive away victory Holmpatrick last week, with new player-coach Johne Murphy directing operations from outside centre, and will hope to build on that performance this weekend.

Malone travel to Kildare on the back of a three-point defeat to Banbridge, with a late try from centre Michael Barker earning them a losing bonus point. Early days yet in the league, but home advantage could prove key for Murphy's charges.
