League action takes a back seat as attention turns to the semi-finals of both competitions.

In the League Cup, the Social Club v Towers tie is fascinatingly poised at all square after the first leg in Ahoghill and Towers will have to pull a top performance out of the bag if they aren’t to relinquish their grip on the trophy, at a venue where they are traditionally given a stern examination.

The other semi appears to be more clear-cut with Services ‘A’ 22 shots up on their ‘B’ teams counterparts.

The ‘B’ team will receive a 10-shot handicap allocation but even then, it looks like too steep a hill for the third division outfit to surmount.

In the League Plate semi-finals, Eaton Park will be looking to put some indifferent home league form behind them as they entertain West Church ‘A’.

Elsewhere, second division promotion hopefuls Portglenone Community Centre will get a taste of what top-flight opposition is like when they host Old Bleach.
