(Wed 24th June)
Another full list of fixtures, in the mid-week slot on Wednesday the 24th June.
The competition has neared the home straight with just a trio of fixtures remaining following this round and it is due to complete on Wed 7th July.
Division One (all games at 7.45pm)
Casement’s Portglenone v St Enda’s Glengormley
The Bannsider’s have had a good programme to date and they only remain three points in arrears of the pace setters despite having to proceed without county personnel.
They recorded a good win over the visiting Rossa last time and they will look forward to the arrival of St Enda’s this time.
St Enda’s have a couple of victories to date and although the Glengormley men will not lack in ambition they will do well to get anything from this one.
O’ Donovan Rossa v St Gall’s
Having led the pack for a good portion of the league Rossa have struggled in their last two fixtures, and a couple of reversals has seen the Shaw’s road side slip down the ratings.
Hugh Mc Gettigan’s charges lost their penultimate assignment up at Hightown and they failed to cope with Casement’s at Kelly Park last time.
St Gall’s have mixed the good with the mediocre in the league but they were at their best last time recording an impressive victory over the visiting Ahoghill.
Padraig O Muiri’s charges visit former pace setters Rossa in this one, and they may struggle to gain a positive return on the Shaw’s road.
St Mary’s Ahoghill v St Mary’s Aghagallon
St Mary’s Ahoghill have not recorded a win to date and the dual club will look for better in this one as they welcome Aghagallon to Cloney.
The home side may well have one eye firmly fixed on hurling affairs but character is never in doubt within the ranks and they may well look at this fixture as an opportunity to open account.
Aghagallon have struggled for consistency in their campaign and having allowed a healthy advantage over the visiting Lamh Dhearg to slip away last time they may well find the going tough in this one.
Lamh Dhearg v Gort Na Mona
Lamh Dhearg staged a late comeback last time to gain a win at Aghagallon which looked unlikely at one stage.
Mairtin Lynch’s men are in competition without their ‘county players’ and such reflects on their campaign to date.
Gort Na Mona have recorded a couple of positive returns this year and the West Belfast men will travel to Hannahstown in search of another couple of points.
Erin’s Own Cargin v St Brigid’s
This one may well have a bearing on the destination of the league title and the Eddie Fitzsimmons Memorial trophy as pace setters Cargin play hosts to third placed St Brigid’s who are just a couple of points in arrears.
Damien Cassidy’s charges have fielded without their county players but their record to date would suggest another win.
St Brigid’s have been good in their campaign but they lost to the visiting Creggan last time and home advantage may well tilt the balance in favour of the Toome men.
Kickham’s Creggan v St John’s
Creggan remain in close pursuit of their near neighbours and close rivals Cargin in search of the league title and just a single point in arrears of the Toome men.
Gerard M.C. Nullity’s charges got a great result last time out at St. Brigid’s and with home advantage they will fancy their chances in this one
St John’s are four points in arrears of the top four but this looks a tough assignment for the Corrigan side and a home win and another brace of points for the Kickham’s men looks probable.
Division Two (all games at 7.45pm
Patrick Sarsfield’s v Kickham’s Ardoyne
Sarsfield’s have struggled to get it together this year and have not collected a single point to date and they will hope for better as they play hosts to Ardoyne.
The current Junior champions have former Down great Ross Carr at the helm and have shown steady progress this year and they may well collect another couple of points in this one.
St Paul’s v Cuchullian’s Dunloy
Dunloy have struggled this year without their county players and have failed to put points on the board and they will hope for better as they travel to Shaw’s road. The Cuchullian’s may well travel in hope rather than in any confidence.
St Paul’s have just a couple of wins to date but they are capable of better as a recent draw with All Saint’s would suggest and in such mood they may well pick up another brace of points from this one.
All Saint’s Ballymena v St Joseph’s Glenavy
Having lost out in their opening game of the season to the visiting Randalstown men All Saint’s have taken a firm grip on the baton and continued unbeaten since.
They recorded a victory at Dunloy last time and they will return to Quinn Park awaiting the visit of Glenavy.
St Joseph’s Glenavy are certainly capable of better as a recent draw at Glenravel suggests but this does look a stern test for the Chapel Hill residents and All Saints can extend that unbeaten run.
Michael Davitt’s v St James Aldergrove
Michael Davitt’s got off to a bad start this term have shown marked improvement lately.
They recorded an excellent win at Glenavy last time to follow a home win over the visiting Dunloy and they will look forward to the visit of Aldergrove.
The Crumlin men have been a bit inconsistent this term but they are more than capable and will travel up to Belfast in search of the points but this one could go either way.
Con Magees Glenravel v St Ergnat’s Moneyglass
The reigning Intermediate champions Moneyglass failed to cope with the visiting Tir na nOg last time and will travel down to Glenravel intent on getting back to winning ways.
The St Ergnat’s men are four points in arrears of the pace setters and they will travel to Maginn Park in search of points to close the gap on the leaders.
Glenravel sit in 5th place at present and a win would move them into the top four but a draw looks possible in this one.
Tir na nOg Randalstown v St Teresa’s
Tir na nOg remain unbeaten to date return and sit three points ahead of second paced All Saint’s they are in touching distance of a place in the play-offs.
The Whitehill side recorded a massive result with their win at Moneyglass last time and they will hope to continue that form from the visit of St Teresa’s
The Glen road side are certainly more than capable as their win over Ardoyne last time suggests but they will have to be at their best to get anything from this one.
Division Three (all games at 7.45pm
St Agnes v St Mary’s Rasharkin
St Mary’s Rasharkin put a couple of bad results behind them with a win over O’Donnell’s last time out and promotion still remains within their reach as they visit the Aggies but they will not get it all their own way against a St. Agnes side who have been performing well this year.
Cardinal O’ Donnell’s v St Malachy’s
Having started the season on a positive note O’ Donnell’s have lost their way somewhat of late but they may take this opportunity to regain winning ways as St. Malachy’s visit McCrory Park.
Patrick Pearses v St Patrick’s Lisburn
St Patrick’s Lisburn remain just a couple of points in arrears of the top place and they may well take another couple of points from this visit to North Belfast based Pearses.
St Comgall’s Antrim v Mc Quillan’s Ballycastle
St Comgall’s lead the way in the Division and Adrian Dougan’s charges should gain another couple of points from the visit of McQuillan’s, Ballycastle.
Eire Og v Laochra Loch Lao
Both sides have just one point in this year’s league campaign so something has to give here and Eire Og will be favourites to gain a win in this one but it could go either way.
