Lincoln Courts v Claudy Rovers

Can the Courts recover after their shock exit from the Irish Junior cup at First Division Eglinton, did they take the villagers to lightly they will hope to bounce back here?

Rovers also suffered a heavy defeat in the Junior cup although they were not at full strength they also lost their opening league game so they must improve immediately.

Prediction Score Draw.

Foyle Wanderers v Limavady United Drummond

This is arguably the match of the day between last seasons champions Foyle Wanderers and a very good Drummond side. Both sides have plenty of fire power up front with Robbie Godfrey for the home side and Tony Clyde for the Roesiders.

Prediction Score Draw.

BBOB v Tullyally

Don Olphert’s side were involved in a seven goal thriller against Ardmore last week but they lost out that is their second league defeat in a row, they have the players who should be doing better.

The Colts were unlucky to lose in the Junior cup but showed their true form in their opening day win against Claudy Rovers, the home side might just be good enough.

Prediction BBOB.

Ardmore v Lisahally

Damien McGee’s side have flown out of the traps with two wins on the trot and they are scoring plenty of goals his players are determined to win the title this season and they are the team to beat so far/

Lisahally have a mostly local side that is packed with talented players they are also a well organised outfit who will have a decant season however they may not stop the men from McCourts.

Prediction Ardmore.
