Buccaneers and Tullamore endured losing starts at home on week one of the AIL.
The midlands clubs have suffered a losing start to their respective AIL campaigns.
In Division 2A, Buccaneers, who dropped down from 1B last year, were well beaten by Instonians, last year's runaway Division 2C winners, 24-52.
While in 2C, Tullamore were beaten 14-27 in Spollanstown by Antrim club Ballyclare.
Both clubs return to action this weekend, it's Buccaneers away to MU Barnhall, and Tullamore travel to take on Clonmel on Saturday.
