Tullyally v Ardmore

This local derby usually produces plenty of talking points, the home side are in mid table but they are not playing as well as they should be, they need to start picking up points.

Last season’s champions are going to find it very difficult to retain their crown, they have lost a couple of games they should have won and can’t afford any more slip ups.

Prediction: Ardmore.

BBOB v Newbuildings United Reserves

The clash between the top two, the Old Boys are playing with a lot of confidence which is why they remain unbeaten, they look odds on for the title and a win here would pull them further clear.

The visitors are having their best season ever but they know just how important this game is if they are going to remain in the hunt.

Prediction: BBOB.

Caw v Ballykelly

Two sides who are out of form, the Nelson Drive men have hit a bad patch and are looking like a relegation battle is fast looming.

The Kings Lane outfit after a few decent performances have seen their form take something of a dip with both sides out of form a draw looks the likely outcome.

Prediction: Score Draw.

Dungiven Reserves v Donemana

Dungiven have been struggling all season and they know that they have to start getting some wins on the board if they are going to remain in the top flight.

Donemana put up a good show in their defeat at BBOB last week, like their opponents they

Drummond v Lincoln Courts

The Limavady men got a welcome three points last week, and as they proved by getting to the cup final a few weeks ago they are a decent side when they are at their best.

The Courts look to have to much to do if they are to get back in the title race, their best chance for silverware this season may be in the cups.

Prediction: Lincoln Courts.
