In the other City Cup games Greysteel defeated Eglinton and Tullyally Colts knocked out Dungiven Reserves. In the Premier Division Lincoln Courts had a comfortable win over Roe Rovers.

Newbuildings Reserves won the Second division title on Saturday after defeating Churchill Reserves. Caw the leaders for much of the season have blown their chances of even getting promoted when they went down by the odd goal of three against Ardmore; with Donemana also winning it now looks between them and Ardmore for the other promotion place.

Lincoln Courts v Burndennett

The Courts have finished runners up and they will consider that to have been a reasonable season, after winning at the weekend they will be looking to continue that in this one.

Burndennett after their magnificent win over Newtowne will want to continue with that form as they prepare for the semi final of the City Cup, a draw could be the likely outcome.

Prediction: Score Draw.
