Clough get ball rolling in Provincial League

CLOUGH Rangers Athletic have the honour of kicking off this seson’s Ballymena & Provincial Intermediate League campaign this weekend.

Clough are involved in the only Michelin Athletic Club-sponsored championship fixture scheduled for this Saturday when they take on league newcomers Magherafelt Sky Blues at Tobar Park (2pm).

The Sky Blues who competed in the Northern Ireland Intermediate league for a number of season will certainly be a test for Clough who have high hopes themselves of being in the mix for Honours at the end of Season.

The Intermediate Division will get into full flow on Friday/Saturday 10th and 11th of August then a number of the teams will be competing in the County Antrim Football Association Steel & Sons Cup 1st Round on Saturday 18th August.

Raceview who win the Division last season will be going all-out to retain their crown but they will certainly be pushed all the way by the other 11 teams in the Division.
