Navan get ready to welcome Queens for big showdown
Today is a big day for Navan RFC as they host Queens University in the fifth round of the AIL Div 2A campaign at Balreask Old.
The game promises to be a close affair as Queens are top of the table while Navan are third but only two points behind.
Navan have shown some fine form this season after making the drop from Div 1B. Last time out they recorded an impressive victory over Old Crescent away.
Now the chance is there for them to take a big scalp and go top themselves if they can defeat Queens.
