2014 Domestic Fixtures Released
The 2014 All Ireland Championships will kick off on Saturday 17th of May this year with eleven clubs setting off on the road to the Final on the 19th of July.
Last year’s champions the Treaty City Titans will have their eyes on retaining their crown as All Ireland Champions but with the return of the Ballynahinch Rabbitohs and with the Dublin City Exiles always in the frame they will face one of their toughest title defences yet.
The Ulster Championship will return in 2014 with the aforementioned Rabbitohs facing stiff competition from the Antrim Eels and newly formed side Belfast Met.
In Leinster the Dublin City Exiles will face competition from Athboy, Barnhall and the West Dublin Bears for their crown as Leinster Champions.
While in Munster the Titans will be looking to reign supreme once more but will need to see off the Cork Bulls, West Coast Warriors and Galway Tribesmen if they are to advance to yet another All Ireland Final.
With the race for each provincial title set to be as close as it has been for a number of years it will be hard to predict the make-up of the All Ireland Championships but needless to say there will be some exciting rugby league along the way.
