And then there were two as title race really hots up

There is a double-header again this weekend with still everything to play for at both ends of the table.

Fox Lodge v Eglinton

A defeat here would see the Foxies relegated. After their worst season ever they will have to regroup and fight to get back to the top flight at the first time of asking and hope that they do not lose their better players.

Eglinton had a disastrous weekend last time round. None more so than their top batsman Stuart Thompson who was out first ball in both last weekend’s defeats, the Foxies could get their first win.

Prediction: Fox Lodge

Coleraine v Bready

The Bannsiders blew whatever chance they had in the title race with last Sunday’s defeat to Ardmore. It will be interesting to see how they bounce back from that shock.

Bready got their first league points since the end of June at the weekend.

However they do have the Ulster Cup to show for their efforts this season but they are just two points above the play off position.

Prediction: Coleraine

Ardmore v Strabane

Ardmore got one of the results of the season last Sunday which now gives them a big chance of moving out of the play-off slot and they have games in hand over Eglinton.

Strabane know that this won’t be easy and any slip-ups would hand the title to Brigade. They may not have their professional Tiamur Mupariwa available for their final two games as he returns home. There should be plenty of runs in this one on an excellent track.

Prediction: Strabane

Brigade v Donemana

The winning post is in sight for Gareth McKeegan’s side. The simple equation is, win the remaining matches and they will be champions. Donemana,however, would love to spoil the party which should make for an interesting game.

Prediction: Brigade
