Corinthians qualified for the AIL division 3 final playoff, without a ball even being kicked, after Midleton conceded the game as they travelled without a full front row. This was on a day in which the Corinthian committee honoured stalwart Jimmy Joyce for his work in setting up the underage section in the 70’s. The juvenile changing area will now be called the Jimmy Joyce name in his honour. Corinthians and Midleton decided to go ahead and play a friendly with uncontested scrums which Corinthians won 29 – 14. This now means that the only team in the AIL division 3 that Corinthians haven’t defeated is Old Wesley which Corinthians now go on to meet in the Final Play off. This time Corinthians will be looking to defeat them and to be crowned division 3 champions. The game takes place on May 9th at 12.00 in Garryowen. Before this however, Corinthians will be playing in the Connacht Senior Cup taking place this Friday the 1st of May in the Sportsground at 18.30 against Connemara.
