There is league and another Summer Cup tie down for decision this Saturday.

Summer Cup

Lincoln Courts v Irish Street

The Courts will go into this cup tie as strong favourites to book a semi-final place against Drummond.

Their only reversal so far has been their defeat by Ballykelly and they bounced back from that last Saturday.

Irish Street them selves have got off to a good start having scored 10 goals in their last two games and only conceding one, both sides like to play attacking football so there should be plenty of goal mouth action.

Prediction: Lincoln Courts.

Premier Division

Tullyally v BBOB

The home side played poorly in last weeks defeat, they are a much better side than they showed in that game, they couldn’t have picked tougher opponents than the Old Boys.

Don Olphert side are playing some superb football and are already looking to be the side to beat this season.

Prediction: BBOB.

Drummond v Caw

The Roesiders have only played one game so far so they will be anxious to get playing on a regular basis, they have recruited a few new faces but it may take them a while to settle in.

Caw showed in last weeks win against Dungiven that on their day they can be a match for anyone in the Division, with confidence buoyed they may win again.

Prediction: Caw.

Ardmore v Newbuildings United Reserves

Damien McGee’s side have already lost to Lincoln Courts and have exited the Irish Junior Cup at the first hurdle so he will have told his players that they have to show more commitment if they hope to retain the title.

The visitors have won their opening two games and that has proved that they can’t be taken lightly, they should also be at full strength now that the cricket season is over.

Prediction: Ardmore.

Ballykelly v Donemana

The men from Kings Lane looked a quality side in their win over Lincoln Courts, their management feel that they now have a side that can make a serious challenge for honours this season.

Donemana scored eight last week and that will have given them a boost, they like Newbuildings will have a full panel available after the cricket seasons has ended, however the home side may prove to strong.

Prediction: Ballykelly.
