Drummond after their recent amalgamation with Limavady United saw an instant result with their win over the reigning champions and they now sit second in the table, they are going to make a big impact.

Prediction: Drummond.

Caw v Lincoln Courts

What a difference a season makes the Nelson Drive men were languishing in the relegation zone this time last season now they are in third place in the table with more wins already than last season.

The Courts had a tremendous result against Claudy last week and that may just kick start their season, manager Kolyn Patterson saw all his hard work bear fruition last week but he will want more.

Prediction: Lincoln Courts.

BBOB v Ardmore

The Old Boys still remain top even after last weeks shock, only their first league defeat of the season, manager Don Olphert will expect his charges to bounce back straight away.

Ardmore were not at full strength last week but they still had a decent side out manager Damien McGee will hope to have his best side available for this one, this could end all square.

Prediction: Score Draw.

Claudy Rovers v Foyle Wanderers

Will Rovers have sorted out their off field problems which robbed them of a number of top players last week, if not then they may see their title aspirations fall apart.

Wanderers have won three of their six games so far, they have a good mix of youth and experience with David Scanlon pulling the strings in the middle of the field, if the home side are back to full strength they should win.

Prediction: Claudy Rovers.

Tullyally Colts v Irish Street

The Colts showed in last weeks win over Ardmore that they are a match for anyone in the Division, however they have drawn to many matches five in total, they will be strong favourites to win this one.

Irish Street welcome back Stuart Moore and that should be a big help, they showed a bit of an improvement last week which gives manager Mark McKittrick a bit of hope.

Prediction: Tullyally Colts.
