A look ahead to the weekend's rugby action with Tullow and Carlow both at home
Tullow's Stephen Smith crosses for a try in Tullow's Leinster league Division 1A win over Athy.
Tullow are on nine points after their first four games, but are without a win in their last three outings.
Division 1A of the Leinster League got off to a great start for the Carlow club when they secured all five points at home to Athy.
They then picked up a bonus-point in a narrow defeat away to Tullamore before playing out a 21-all draw at home to Seapoint.
Tullow's last game saw them pick up another losing bonus point when they fell by four points away to Wicklow.
They take on the division's top team on Saturday as Suttonians bring their 100% record to Black Gates.
The Dublin side have beaten Seapoint, Boyne and Wexford Wanderers at home as well as a win away to Wicklow.
Carlow picked up a four-try bonus point as well as a losing bonus point in their league opener, losing by a single point at home to De La Salle Palmerstown, and picked up another losing bonus point when they fell away to Ashbourne - again by just a solitary point.
But their confidence will be through the roof after the last game as Tom Crotty's men ran in nine tries against Clondalkin to leave Oak Park with all five points.
They are back at home on Sunday when they entertain a Gorey side coming off their second win of the season after a convincing victory at home to Ashbourne.
Gorey began the season with a win over Kilkenny before losing away to De La Salle Palmerstown.
