Touchline Talk from Rathfriland FC with Eric Annett

RANGERS AWAY TO BANGOR RANGERS - Rathfriland Rangers this Saturday will compete in their first league game in weeks away to Bangor Rangers. Bangor groundshare with PSNI at Newforge but “The Whites” will be hoping to collect the three points as the home side sit below Rathfriland in the table having played more than twice as many games as Rathfriland. Kick off 2pm.

SWIFTS AWAY IN DERBY - Rathfriland Swifts this Saturday travel to Banbridge Town Reserves in a league derby fixture in the Reserve Championship. With the two sides sitting beside each other in the league this one will be a hard one to call. This game will be played at Crystal Park with a 2pm kick off.

SWIFTS RESERVES HOME TO RED STAR - Rathfriland Swifts Reserves will host Red Star in a league fixture at Iveagh Park. With the Swifts Reserves sitting top of the table, this one should be a home win despite the visitors sitting in fourth spot. Swifts Reserves going well - Kick off 2pm

STOP YOUR TALKIN! - At the recent Irish Cup match against Institute Chub McCabe couldn`t understand one of the linesman`s offside decisions. As the lino fired his flag into the air Chub screamed “What are you talking about!”

MURRAY MINT! - Did you know that Rathfriland FC supporter David Murray has taken to wearing very fashionable scarves. The one he had on a couple of weeks ago for the Institute game was about 25 feet long and designed like something out of Milan!
