The top half to determine the 2022/2023 Premier Division champions will feature Boyle Celtic, Moore United, Castlerea Celtic, St. John’s Athletic and CP Ajax.

There are some surprising names in the bottom half which features Ballinasloe Town, Ballaghaderreen FC, Kilkerrin United, Moylough ’79 and Skyvalley Rovers. Those teams will be battling against relegation to the First Division.

Speaking of the First Division, Shiven Rovers, Cloonfad United, Ballinagare Manor United, Cam Celtic and Dunmore Town will be vying for the title, while Dysart FC, Ballymoe B, Roscommon United and Ballinasloe Town B will be hoping to avoid the drop.

League Division One: Sligo 12 Creggs 17. The White team enjoyed an impressive win away to Sligo last Sunday. The three Cians – Fitzmaurice, Trimble and Kiernan – proved the difference as their tries secured the victory. This win leaves Creggs top of the league. They face either Corinthians/Ballina in the semi-final in two weeks’ time.
