Friday 13th August (all games at 7.30pm)
Reserve Football Cup Group 2
St Gall’s v St Enda’s Glengormley
St. Enda’s are top of group 2 with three wins from three starts while St. St. Gall’s have lost once and need a win here if they are retain their chances of a play-off place.
This one looks hard to call but home advantage may swing it St. Gall’s way.
Reserve Football Group 1
Lamh Dhearg v Casement’s Portglenone
Casement’s top the table with three wins from three starts to top the table. Lamh Dhearg sit in second place with six points from four starts with Creggan and Cargin not out of the hunt and only a win will do for the Hannastown men if they are to qualify for the play-off places. In a tight fixture Casement’s get the nod.
Kickham’s Creggan v Erin’s Own Cargin
This local derby is always keenly contested with Kickham’s sitting just above Cargin in the table. Both sides have four points but Cargin have played a game less and a win for the visitors would put them back into the play-off frame and theymight just edge this one.
St. Mary’s Aghagallon v Gort na Mona
Both sides have struggled for points in the reserve cup with neither having gained a win to date but home advantage could sway it in the St. Mary’s direction.
Reserve Football Shield Group 1
St Joseph’s Glenavy v All Saints
St. Joseph’s Glenavy served notice of their ability with a recent win over previously unbeaten Tir na nOg and a win here could be enough to earn them a place in the play-offs. League winners All Saints have suffered a couple of reverses in the reserve shield but are capable of giving anyone a game.
Home advantage should edge this one in favour of Glenavy however.
St. Paul’s v Tir na nOg
Tir na nOg recovered from defeat at Glenavy to record a good win over Aldergrove last Friday night with a Daniel O’Neill goal in injury time earning them the verdict over a previously unbeaten St. James’ side.
They look strong favourites to gain another win on their visit to Shaw’s Road and will be hoping that All Saints get something from the Glenavy game.
Reserve Football Shield Group 2
Rasharkin v Glenravel
Rasharkin have enjoyed something of a renaissance this year and after winning the division 3 league title have been going well in the Junior Championship. Games between these sides are always keenly contested and with both side having played only two games and gained one win a draw cannot be ruled out.
