The League fixtures continue on the mid-week schedule as they retain the Wednesday slot for the 6th round
Division One (all games at 7.00pm)
Kickham’s Creggan v St Mary’s Ahoghill
Ahoghill recorded their first victory of the season when they travelled to Corrigan Park and recorded a two point win over St. John’s.
They are on the road again as they make the shorter but more difficult journey to meet Creggan at their Staffordstown Road ground.
The Kickham’s men have been in relatively good form this term but they suffered defeat on the road last time when they lost to the in-form St Gall’s at Milltown and they will be keen to return to the positive here as they play hosts to St Mary’s.
Creggan will start as firm favourites back on their home sod and although Ahoghill may well give them a run for their money a home win looks on the cards.
St Johns v O’ Donovan Rossa
This one is usually a hard fought close affair as O’ Donavan Rossa travel to Corrigan Park to cross swords with their keen rival’s St John’s in a matchup which is always keenly anticipated.
The home side have struggled this term, despite reputation and have failed to collect a single point from their fixtures to date and they will be more than keen to turn the corner here.
Rossa, like to their hosts in this one have failed to impress in their fixtures to date and with just one win over Ahoghill to their name the Shaw’s road side will travel to Corrigan more than keen to gain the win.
Certain to be fiercely contested, both sides will see this one as a chance to improve their points tally and this one could go either way and a draw certainly can’t be ruled out.
Erin’s Own v St Paul’s
Having enjoyed a good victory over Casement’s on Sunday last in the final of the O’ Cahan Cup, Erin’s Own are back in league action again this time as they welcome St Paul’s to Toome.
St Paul’s gained promotion from division 2 last year but have struggled for points in the higher grade and face another difficult opponent who will start this one as short odds favourites.
Cargin remain unbeaten to date and although they needed to dig deep to get the better of Glenravel last time out they should have too much in store for the visiting St. Paul’s.
Roger Casement’s v St Galls
Roger Casement’s have mixed the good with the bad this year. They started their league programme with a victory over the visiting St Paul’s, lost away to Aldergrove and All Saints before getting their second win over Dunloy and they followed that up next time out with a draw at St Brigid’s.
The Bannsider’s face another tough challenge this time as St Gall’s visit Kelly Park and the Milltown Row side have maximum points from their opening five games.
Casement’s lost to Cargin in the O’ Cahan Cup decider and looked badly off the pace but this might just be the challenge they need and this one could be closer than expected with a Casement’s win not ruled out.
St Mary’s Aghagallon v Con Magee’s Glenravel
Aghagallon have enjoyed a descent start to the season with three victories over Dunloy, Rossa, and Ahoghill but suffered defeat at St Brigid’s and Portglenone.
The St Mary’s men do seem to have picked up the pace and with home venue they will face Glenravel hoping for their fourth win.
Glenravel came close to ending Cargin’s unbeaten run last time out and they will be hoping to build on that good performance and record their third win, despite being away from home.
Tir na nOg v St Brigid’s
Tir na nOg have struggled to date but have come close on occasions and shared the points with St Paul’s and Dunloy.
Their turn may well be just around the corner but this looks to be a tough one as the league champions visit Whitehill.
The Musgrave Park side dropped a point to the visiting Casement’s last time out, having suffered defeat to Creggan in their previous fixture and Tir na nOg may see this as an opportunity to get their first win.
Both sides have been missing players recently and much will depend on how strong they can field but Tir na nOg, at their best could give this one a real lash.
Lamh Dhearg v Cuchullian’s Dunloy
Cuchullian’s Dunloy enjoyed a good start to the season with wins over Creggan and St John’s and a draw with Tir na nOg. They lost to St. Mary’s Aghagallon and Portglenone and will be happy with their results to date.
Lamh Dhearg’s two win to date have come at home with wins over Tir na nOg and St. Paul’s and they will see the visit of St. Paul’s as an opportunity to add to those wins but if Dunloy are anywhere near full strength then they will certainly ask questions of the Hannastown side.
Division Two (all games 7.00pm
Michael Davitt’s v St Teresa’s
Davitts have not started 2025 well and have yet to record a win though they did draw with Glenavy on day one and went close before losing narrowly to Naomh Comhghall at Dunsilly.
Last year’s division 2 runners up, St Teresa’s have recorded a couple of win s to date and they will travel to Davitt’s as favourites to add another couple of points.
St Joseph’s Glenavy v St Comgall’s
Glenavy opened their season with a draw away to Davitt’s and followed with a win over St. Enda’s before losing away to Naomh Padraig in Lisburn. They suffered another heavy defeat to league leaders, Sarsfields in round 4 and will be keen to get some points on board.
St Comgall’s lost by four points to a strong Moneyglass on day one before recording a home win over Davitts in their second outing. They lost on the road again to St. Enda’s at Hightown but came mighty close to beating St. Patrick’s, Lisburn last time out but threw away a convincing lead.
The Antrim men will travel to Glenavy hoping to get their season back on track but this does look a difficult assignment with St Joseph’s starting as favourites.
St Enda’s v St Mary’s Rasharkin
Rasharkin gained their first win last time out when Davitt’s visited Dreen and the St Mary’s men will travel up to Hightown hoping to add to that win when they face St Enda’s.
St Enda’s have posted wins over St. Comgall’s and Gort na Mona and home advantage could give them the edge over the South West side.
Patrick’s Sarsfield’s v St Ergnat’s Moneyglass
This meeting of Sarsfield’s and Moneyglass sees unbeaten records on the line with both sides having recorded four wins from four starts.
This one has the making of a thriller at the ‘Bear Pit’ and is certain to draw a good crowd for a game that will be fully contested.
Ground advantage may well count but the visitors are in good form at present and may well gain the verdict.
St Patrick’s Lisburn v Gort na Mona
St Patrick’s came from well off the pace last time at Dunsilly to gain the verdict over St Comgall’s and the Lisurn side have made a good start to the season and they will travel to meet Gort na Mona with confidence.
Gort na Mona have just one win to date over Davitt’s in round three and will be hoping to build on that win but a confident St Patrick’s may gain the verdict.
Division Three (all games at 7.00pm)
Cardinal O’ Donnell’s v Wolfe Tones
Cardinal O’ Donnell’s have recorded a couple of victories to date and they will play hosts to Wolfe Tones as favourites to add another win.
St Agnes v Eire Og
The Aggies have maximum points from an unbeaten run of four in a row and play hosts to Eire Og who have just a single win to date and a home win looks likely.
Patrick Pearses v St Malachy’s
With just a single win each to their names to date this may well be a close one as Pearses play hosts to St Malachy’s with ground advantage possibly aiding Pearses to the win.
Laochra Loch Lao v Kickham’s Ardoyne
Both these sides have recorded a couple of victories as Laochra Loch Lao play hosts to the men from Ardoyne with the North Belfast men given the nod.
