Colts aim to stop BB

THE Sentinel Cup quarter finals saw no shocks, holders Ardmore proved much to strong for first division Burnfoot winning 5-1.

In the Waterside derby BBOB scored the only goal of the games against local rivals Lincoln Courts, Eglinton continued their good form with a 2-0 home win over Glendermott, the remaining tie between Drummond and Ballykelly was postponed and will now be played this Saturday.

There were two games played in the Premier Division, City Colts and Newbuildings United Reserves served up a feast of goals with the Colts coming out on top 7-4; Caw and Tullyally Colts shared two goals and the points. Its back to league action this weekend with four games in the Premiership.

Ardmore v Newbuildings United Reserves

The home side will be strong favourites to continue their winning run, they were not extended in last weeks Sentinel Cup win and manager Damien McGee will have been pleased to see a number of players on the score sheet.

Newbuildings defence had a shocker last week conceding seven, their forwards however hit the target four times, they will have to be a lot tighter in this one if they are to avoid another drubbing.

Prediction: Ardmore.

Caw v Eglinton

The Waterside men played reasonably well in last Saturday’s draw against Tullyally, however they still haven’t managed to win a game which is a little worrying.

Eglinton have started the season well and the fact that they have a settled side has been a big help, they may prove to strong for the home side.

Prediction: Eglinton.

Lincoln Courts v City Colts

The Courts were one of the fancies for the title at the beginning of the season, however they have struggled and they are already out of the Irish Junior and Sentinel Cups, they must get their season up and running.

The Colts were in goal scoring form last week, they have some dangerous front men however they do leak to many goals and if they can put that right they will be a force.

Prediction: Lincoln Courts.

Tullyally Colts v BBOB

Its Tullyally’s turn to try to end the Old Boys winning run, they are a decent side but they are a bit hit and miss, they are probably a few players short of being serious title challengers.

BB had to fight all the way before overcoming a spirited Lincoln Courts last week, however they have got into the habit of winning and that breeds confidence, another three points looks odds on.

Prediction: BBOB.
