This weekend sees the spotlight being shone in the direction of the second division. Clann Eireann, who are rooted at the bottom of the second flight, have a real chance of getting off the mark against Keady. Clan na Gael should be good enough to take both points from Middletown, Wolfe Tones play Madden,and Tir na Nog who are still unbeaten play Eire Og in what should be a difficult game for the Portadown men.

In division one St. Peter’s play Ballymacnab and St. Paul’ will face an uphill struggle when they travel to St. Patrick’s. On Monday night Wolfe Tones had a good win beating Grange at Derrymacash 0-11 to 2-02.
