McGee’s side travel to unbeaten title contenders

What a difference a couple of weeks makes. Irish Street travelled to Ardmore a fortnight ago and drew 2-2 but last Saturday the Ardmore men put nine past the same opponents and the losers also finished the game with just nine men.

Lincoln Courts moved into third place after defeating Tullyally Colts 2-1 with King and Ross getting their goals.

There is a full programme in the Premier Division this Saturday with the game between Tullyally Colts and Foyle Wanderers having a 12noon kick off.

Irish Street v

Newbuildings United Res

A clash of the bottom two, the home side were shell shocked by that defeat against Ardmore last week and now they will be missing two of their regulars due to suspension, things are not looking good.

Newbuildings are still pointless and joint manager Glenn Wallace must be getting very frustrated watching his side lose every week but he will keep going.

Prediction: Score draw.

Tullyally Colts v Foyle Wanderers

The Colts are joint third from the bottom and they have drawn three of their six games so far and must turn these draws round to victories. They certainly have the players to do better.

Wanderers have a good mix of experience and youth and they are one of the fittest sides in the Division. However if they are going to be up their challenging then they must start winning games.

Prediction: Score draw

Claudy Rovers v Ardmore

The match of the day. Both sides are currently unbeaten however Claudy have played just two league games. Manager Ryan McDaid has assembled a first class side with many players from the successful Top Of The Hill side.

Ardmore are scoring goals for fun and manager Damien McGee, no stranger to winning trophies, reckons that this is one of his best sides since taking charge. A game not to be missed.

Prediction: Score draw

BBOB v Lincoln Courts

Don Olphert’s Old Boys sit top of the league and he and his troops are determined to stay there. Their twin strike force of McCready and Garden are on fire and they will have to be watched.

The Courts have their own goalscorer in Gary King and they are certainly not a side to be underestimated. After a dodgy start to their campaign they have shown an improvement lately.

Prediction: BBOB

Caw v Drummond

The Nelson Drive men saw their unbeaten run come to an end last week, but it was no disgrace to lose to a side like BBOB, however they had two men red carded so they won’t be at full strength.

Drummond have got a decent side together this time round and they have played well in a couple of their games, however they still have lost two of their five games.

Prediction: Caw
