Caw v BBOB

It doesn’t get any easier for the Nelson Drive men, their form has nose dived in recent weeks and their fight for survival is starting to peter out, they will hope to keep the scoreline respectable.

What can one say about Don Olphert’s side, they have had a number of barren years and they decided to sign quality players and how it has paid off.

Prediction: BBOB.

Donemana v Ardmore

The Tyrone side are now involved in a battle to remain in the top division, they have found the going tough since they moved up, however they are still enjoying their football which is what it is all about.

Ardmore’s outside chance of retaining the title disappeared after last weeks defeat at neighbours Tullyally, manager Damien McGee must be scratching his head at what has gone wrong this season.

Prediction: Ardmore.

Newbuildings United Reserves v Dungiven Reserves

The home side although losing at BBOB last week played reasonably well, they still remain in second spot and they will want to remain in the title mix.

Dungiven not for the first time scored five last week, their problems seem to be in conceding to often, however they are still a useful side.

Prediction: Newbuildings United Reserves.

Tullyally v Drummond

The home side won the bragging rights in their derby win over Ardmore last week, that was one of their better performances which was helped by the return of a couple of regulars.

Chris Moore knows that keeping his side in the division is the main aim this season, they have a number of more than useful players but could do with strengthening.

Prediction: Tullyally.
