The prestigious Matt Morrison Junior Cup takes centre stage this Saturday, while Lincoln Courts Reseves face BBOB Reserves in the Second Division.

Dromore v Caw

Second Division Dromore take on Premiership side Caw, they are having an average season in the league but they will be looking for a scalp here.

Caw showed a good attitude in last weeks defeat and with Glenn Watson taking over as manager they will be looking for a change of fortune and they may get a welcome win.

Prediction: Caw.

Maghera Strollers v Irish Street

The home side have left North West football a couple of years ago when they were a top Premiership side, they have carried on with some good results in their new league.

Irish Street know that promotion is their main target but they have been doing extremely well in cup competitions, this may go to extra time.

Prediction: Irish Street.

Glendermott v Claudy United

This all First Division clash should provide plenty of thrills, the home side are in the hunt for promotion and they are a more than useful side especially at home.

United have had a reasonably settled side over the last few seasons and they play with great determination however home advantage may make all the difference.

Prediction: Glendermott.

Donemana v Claudy Rovers

This could be describeb as the tie of the round, Donemana have struggled in the Premiership for the majority of the season and are in a relegation fight, however they will have taken great confidence after last weeks win at Ardmore.

Rovers are odds on to be back in the Premier Division next season, they are currently in pole position, they are on a winning roll and things are looking good.

Prediction: Donemana.

Roe Rovers Reserves v Ardmore

The men from Limavady are in the First Division and are having an ordinary season, however they will relish this game against one of the Premierships big guns.

Ardmore were shell shocked with that defeat by Donemana which ended whatever small chance they had of getting among the title challengers, they should get back to winning ways.

Prediction: Ardmore.

Lincoln Courts v Douglas Bridge

The Courts now look like being the only serious challenger to BBOB in the Premiership title race, however they fancy themselves in the cup competitions ands will be hot favourites to progress.

Their opponents will not throw the towel in without a good fight that said they have not been setting the First Division on fire.

Prediction: Lincoln Courts.

BBOB v Lisahally

This one on paper looks like a home banker, the Old Boys are going for a clean sweep of trophies and are on course to do just that.

However Lisahally are an excellent side and are full of talented and experienced players, they certainly are capable of playing in the top flight, plenty of goals look guaranteed.

Prediction: BBOB.

Artigarvan v Tullyally

Even with home advantage the Tyrone men are big outsiders, that said we all know that cup games can through up the odd shock result.

Tullyally are aiming for a top four premiership finish and they are capable of doing just that, however they will want a run in this competition and should book their place in the next round.

Prediction: Tullyally.
