Missing the live rugby like me? Why not head to Tallaght Stadium this Saturday for the showpiece of the Irish American Football League.
The University of Limerick Vikings and Belfast Trojans, both of whom went 8-0 in their divisions, will meet in the postseason for the first time.
The two did not meet during the course of the regular season this year but their results against the rest of the IAFL suggest that this could be one of the closest Shamrock Bowls in history.
UL Vikings dominated the IAFL South and carried that supremacy into their semi-final against Carrickfergus Knights where they emerged with a comprehensive 63-3 victory. For their part, Belfast Trojans defeated the two-time defending Shamrock Bowl Champions, Dublin Rebels, in a high scoring semi-final finishing on the right side of a 66-38 scoreline.
Shamrock Bowl XXVI will be played in Tallaght Stadium, Dublin on Saturday, July 14 2012. Kick-off is 16.00. Tickets are available on the gate, from Ticketmaster outlets nationwide and online at www.ticketmaster.ie.
