Lynch ready for AIL beginning

The Judges Road men have won six games in a row and Lynch is expecting his side to get another positive result in Connacht.

"We are obviously pleased with the results, but we are also happy with the way we are playing at the minute, but that doesn't mean you are going to get a result in our next game," he said.

"We have to take it one game at a time and we are used to that after our two seasons in Junior rugby, but as I have said we have played well in both pre-season and in the Ulster League, so it would be disappointing after such a long journey if we didn't get a positive result.

"Everyone at the club has been happy with our style of play, from the supporters, to coaches and players and our aim is to maintain that consistency."

The Kiwi man is hoping that the home side, who normally struggle at the start of every season, won't have hit top form.

"Connemara is a big farming team and this time of the year farmers are busiest so that is why they tend to struggle at the start of the season, so if that is the case I'm hoping we can take advantage of that.

"We want to get our first points of the season up on the board as quickly as possible, so that we can push for a top half of the table finish.

"The likes of Richard McCarter, Josh Lewis, Tom Brady and Chris Cooper are all still struggling, but the players who have come in this season already have done a good job, so we'll be travelling with a good squad of players."
