City Cup

Ballykelly v Eglinton

A local derby which with two attack minded teams should produce plenty of goal mouth action. The home side scored nine last week in the Junior cup while their opponents also recorded a victory, home advantage may sway it.

Prediction: Ballykelly.

City Colts v Maghera Strollers

These two meet again for the second Saturday in a row, the Colts came out on top by the odd goal of seven in a thriller in the Matt Morrison Junior Cup, there is not a lot between them and extra time may be needed.

Prediction: City Colts.

Premier Division

Drummond v Roe Rovers

Another two sides who met last week in the cup, there are bragging rights to play for when these two meet and Rovers won them with their victory last Saturday, goals from Brian Butcher, Conor Mullan and Billy Doran saw them through last week a repeat looks likely.

Prediction: Roe Rovers.

Dungiven Reserves v BBOB

The home side were without a game last week so they will be relishing getting back in action, they are comfortably placed in mid table but would like to finish higher.

The Old Boys got a welcome win last week thanks to a goal from young Jordan Thompson, they will do well to get anything from this one.

Prediction: Dungiven Reserves.

Newbuildings United Res v Greysteel

The Newbuildings side booked their place in the next round of the Junior cup but were not impressive in their win over Douglas Bridge, however as they have shown for most of the season they are better than that.

Greysteel lost last week again they were not at full strength and they will be the underdogs in this tie.

Prediction: Newbuildings United Res.
