With YMCA and Waringstown both winning this week, the only changes in our All Ireland rankings were further down the ladder. Clontarf's aforementioned loss to YMCA sees them slip to 4th, whilst Donemana's win over Fox Lodge sees them move ahead of Pembroke and Brigade
There were plenty of surprises in Leinster, with Terenure moving up to 33rd on the back of the win over North County. Rush moved up three places to 38th after beating Leinster, and Balbriggan have gone up a place to 34th after beating Cork County (who dropped three to 27th)
Railway Union's recent good run (back-to-back wins over Merrion and Pembroke) has seen them re-enter the top 20 in 18th place.
Three other clubs have moved up two places - all in the North West. Eglinton's excellent win over Bready, leapfrogged them over Muckamore and Cork County. Ardmore's brilliant year (they have now moved up 8 places) continues. They didn't complete a game this week though - benefitting from the misfortune of Cork County and Fox Lodge. Finally, Burndennett beat Creevedonnell to move up to 37th.
In what will be a crucial weekend coming up, YMCA play Merrion, Waringston play CIYMS and Bready, North Down play The Hills and Muckamore, Pembroke play Clontarf, and Instonians have the easiest task of the top 5, playing Lisburn.
