That was far from the case as the Division 2C new boys cruised to yet another bonus point win, sending them to the top of the table. Skerries will be eager to bounce back to form next weekend when they play Bruff, while Instonians will be looking to maintain their 100% start to the season against Bangor.

Bruff fell to their first defeat of the season at the hands of Tullamore, who found form with a bonus point win. Tullamore lost out to Instonians in round one but will feel as though they can really threaten sides this season, especially after the win over Bruff.
