Weather starts to cause havoc

BBOB won’t be complaining after getting a badly needed win at Newbuildings Reserves while in the only other game in the Premier Division, Roe Rovers defeated an out of form Burndennett.

Caw moved to the top of the First Division after a comfortable away win at Foyle Wanderers, while in the Second Division leaders Churchill United had a hard fought win over Limavady Rugby Club Res.

This Saturday sees games in the City Cup while there is one game in the Premier Division.

City Cup

Caw v Tullyally Colts

This all First Division clash should be a cracker Caw’s main aim this season is to gain promotion and they are well on their way to doing just that, currently at the top of the table, they are scoring plenty of goals.

Tullyally like their opponents play attacking football and they to are well placed in the top half of the table, sure to be goals in this one.

Prediction: Caw.

Maghera Strollers v Burndennett

An all Premier clash which will see the home side start as hot favourites, although they will not be match fit as it has been a number of weeks since they had a game.

The Tyrone side are having a very poor season and a relegation fight is staring them in the face, they lost again last week.

Prediction: Maghera Strollers.

Eglinton v BBOB

The Villagers have the chance of taking a premiership scalp, they are always difficult to beat on their home turf and reserve their best form for cup competitions.

The Old Boys put up one of their best performances of what has been a disappointing season last week in their win at Newbuildings and they will be looking for another result in this one.

Prediction: BBOB.

City Colts v Limavady Rugby Club Res

It has not been often this season that the Colts go into a game as favourites, they have struggled in the top Division but they continue to play some decent football.

The Roesiders newcomers to the North West League have acquitted them selves well in their first season and have shocked a few sides.

Prediction: City Colts.

Ardmore v Sion

The home side have a team well capable of playing in the Premier Division and as things stand they are in a very good position to get promotion. Damien McGee has some talented players in his side and they could take a Premier Division scalp here.

Sion blow hot and cold however they did knock out the fancied Lincoln Courts in the previous round, this will be tougher.

Prediction: Ardmore.

Ballykelly v Glendermott

The home side are up at the top of the table with promotion a distinct possibility, they have put up some impressive performances recently and they score plenty of goals.

The visitors are doing alright in the Second Division but they are a bit inconsistent and tend to leak to many goals.

Prediction: Ballykelly.

Dungiven Reserves

v Roe Rovers

Arguably the tie of the round, both sides are having decent seasons and Rovers especially could move into the top four if they win their games in hand, however the home side are a good side and this may need extra time.

Prediction: Dungiven Reserves.

Drummond v Burnfoot

Chris Moore will be glad of the distraction away from the league where his side have been struggling for most of the season, he would like a run in this competition.

Burnfoot will see this as a bit of a derby match and they will be up for it but the home side should get a welcome win.

Prediction: Drummond.
