The next round of the reserve football leagues are set to continue as scheduled on Friday in both Divison One and Two. Geordie McGuckian takes a look at tonight’s games and makes his predictions
Friday 24th June
Reserve League Division One (7.45)
Tir na Nog v St Gall’s
Randalstown based Tir na Nog have struggled against adversity for a time with a long list of injuries impacting on their progress and the Whitehill Blues may need improvement in this one as 4th Place based St Gall’s visit.
St Enda’s v Erin’s Own Cargin
St Enda’s gained a draw in Toome in the corresponding fixture but Cargin have not dropped a point since and will take the road up to Hightown as favourites to record another win over the Glengormley men.
Casement’s Portglenone v St Brigid’s
Portglenone have enjoyed a good campaign to date and although second placed St Brigid’s will travel looking to maintain their winning habit ground advantage may well tip the balance in favour of the Kelly Park side.
O’Donovan Rossa v St Mary’s Aghagallon
Little seperates these two in the ratings with Rossa just a place ahead of the Aghagallon men but with the St Mary’s men struggling to gain traction lately the prospect of a home win does seem likely in the present climate.
Lamh Dhearg v Kickham’s Creggan
Lamh Dhearg’s second string have struggled thus far in the competition and they will require better in this one as the Creggan men visit with a possibility of an away win looking likely.
Division Two (all games at 7.45pm)
All Saint’s Ballymena v St Paul’s
St Paul’s remain unbeaten in this competition without the loss of a single point and although their hosts, All Saint’s will not go down without a fight an away win looks likely.
Patrick Sarsfield’s v Con Magees Glenravel
Sarsfield’s second string have enjoyed a fruitful season to date and sit in third placed and will hope to continue with another couple of points in this one as the Con Magee’s men visit the Bear Pit.
St Ergnat’s Moneyglass v St Joseph’s Glenavy
Although the Moneyglass first string have already claimed the division one league title, their reserve squad have failed to follow such lead and improvement will need to be forthcoming if they are to get the better of the visiting Glenavy men who reside in a secure mid table berth at present.
St James Aldergrove v St Mary’s Ahoghill
The home side, St Mary’s Aldergrove sit in second place at present and will start this one as firm favourites as their counterparts from Ahoghill pay a visit with a home win firmly on the cards.
