Lisnarick are fifth from bottom in the second division of the Fermanagh and Western league they have done well to reach this stage but the Old Boys book their place in the quarter-finals.

Prediction: BBOB.

Moyola Park v Drummond

The Castledawson side will fancy their chances now they are at home, they have been having an ordinary season but when they are at full strength they are more than useful.

Chris Moore’s Drummond side haven’t played much since the Winter break and they may be a bit ring rusty which may count against them.

Prediction: Moyola Park.

Greysteel v Portstewart

The home side have lost a number of players in the last couple of seasons however they have regrouped and with excellent facilities they are going in the right direction.

The seasiders play in the Coleraine and District league which is of a decent standard they are reported to be a decent side but home advantage may make the difference.

Prediction: Greysteel.

Limavady Rugby Club v Eglinton

Both these side are in the Second Division, the Roesiders have a settled side who are mostly made up of local players, they have will go into this one as the underdogs.

Eglinton are going all out for promotion and their new signings this season means they should win this one.

Prediction: Eglinton.

Tobermore v Burnfoot

Their should be plenty of action when these two sides meet, the home side have found it difficult to field a settled side because of players unavailability.

Burnfoot are usually a strong physical side but they are not the best of travellers.

Prediction: Tobermore.
