Three local sides are involved in the fourth round of the Coca/Cola Irish Junior Cup this Saturday, while there are two games in the Premier Division.

Irish Junior Cup

Ardoyne WMC v BBOB

The Belfast side play in Division 2B of the Northern Amateur League which is a reasonable standard, however they lost at home last week going down 3-1 to Portavogie.

The Old Boys would love to go all the way in this competition, they are on an amazing roll and fear no one, their good run may continue.

Prediction: BBOB.

Drumquin United v Glendermott

The Omagh based home side ply their trade in Division Two of the Fermanagh and Western League, they lost last Saturday 2-0 at home to NFC Kesh so they will be looking to bounce back.

Glendermott have saved their best performances for this competition having beaten a few fancied sides in the earlier rounds, however this may be beyond them.

Prediction: Drumquin United.

Irish Street v Carniny Rangers

Irish Street manager Stuarty Moore know his side are capable of giving anyone a run for their money as Ardmore found out last week and with home advantage they will fancy their chances.

The visitors have a decent record in this competition and if they travel with to much confidence they could come a cropper.

Prediction: Irish Street.

Premier Division

Lincoln Courts v Tullyally

The Courts hit six last week where a number of their players were on the score sheet, they have some quality players like Gary King and Steven Mooney to name just two and they will start favourites.

Tullyally had a good win against Caw last week a result that moves them up the table, if the home side are not on their game the visitors could cause a surprise.

Prediction: Lincoln Courts.

Caw v Ardmore

Caw continue to struggle and now look odds on for the drop, they just don’t have the players good enough for the top division and a drop to the First Division won’t do them any harm.

Ardmore were given a fright by Irish Street last Saturday before coming through their best chance of silverware this season is in the cups but they should pick up three points from this one.

Prediction: Ardmore.
