League and cup action this weekend

LINCOLN Courts bowed out of the Coca Cola Irish Junior Cup losing 3-2 at Belfast based Ford.

This weekend the City Cup takes centre stage, while there are also two Premier Division games down for decision as well as a full programme in both the First and Second Division's.

City Cup

Irish Street v City Colts

The home side will be determined to book their place in the next round, they have had a decent season and they have a settled side.

The Colts bowed out of the Junior cup last Saturday and may suffer the same fate in this competition.

Prediction: Irish Street.

Greysteel v Drummond

This is both sides' last chance of silverware this season, games between them are usually close.

The home side knocked out City Colts in the junior cup last week, but they will find the Roesiders a lot more difficult; this may go to a penalty shoot out.

Prediction: Greysteel.

Lincoln Courts v Douglas Bridge

The Courts were bitterly disappointed with their exit from the Junior Cup and they will be more determined than ever to go all the way in this competition.

The Bridge will be massive underdogs and the best they can hope for is a respectable defeat.

Prediction: Lincoln Courts.

Premier Division

Draperstown Reserves v Claudy Rovers

The home side look doomed after a poor season, they badly need a number of new signings if they are to compete at this level again.

Rovers are not out of the woods yet, they lost a number of players and that has seen them have a poor season, however they may get a welcome three points.

Prediction: Claudy Rovers.

Burndennett v BBOB

The Tyrone men are away behind in fixtures and if they were to win the games in hand they could finish in the top four which would make it a decent season.

The Old Boys are just wishing the season would end, it will be interesting what changes they make in the close season.

Prediction: Score Draw.
