Ardmore get second chance

In the league after the weekends action three teams share top spot Limavady, Glendermott and Fox Lodge are two points clear of the chasing pack while at the other end of the table Eglinton and St Johnston remain pointless.

It's back to Senior Cup action this Saturday with four games down for decision.

Limavady v Donemana

This game will be played at Drummond due to ongoing work at the John Hunter ground. The Roesiders have beaten their opponents in the league earlier in the season and they will be favourites to do so again. They are playing superbly with most of their batsmen and bowlers performing admirably.

Donemana had a much needed victory last week however their bowling does look a bit weak, having already lost three league games this looks like their only chance of silverware but they may not be good enough.

Prediction: Limavady.

Brigade v Coleraine

This has the makings of a close game, the home side on paper are very strong but some of their players have yet to get up and running.

They had a mixed weekend last week with a bad defeat at Glendermott followed by an easy win at St Johnston.

The Bannsiders lost for just the second time this season when Bready defeated them on Sunday, however they are quite capable of beating any side in the division. Ian McGregor was again on fire in that defeat and the home sides bowlers will hope to get him out early.

Prediction: Brigade.

Burndennett v Eglinton

The Senior Two side are still unbeaten and are playing with great confidence, they have a good attack with Mark Roulston picking up five wickets in their last game, they also have some big hitters in their side.

Eglinton lost heavily at Fox Lodge last Sunday where their bowling was poor, they are badly in need of a win but they have already knocked out a Senior Two side in Bonds Glen in the last round, they may prove to strong for the home side.

Prediction: Eglinton.

Strabane v Ardmore

The home side were expecting to play St Johnston but now face Senior Two side Ardmore, Peter Gillespie was again in fine form with the bat in last weeks defeat at Donemana but their bowlers let them down, they may still be without professional Jonathon Beuckes with ankle problems.

Ardmore have nothing to lose but they will make life difficult for the home side, they have players who have played in Senior One and they certainly won't be overawed, the home side may prove to strong.

Prediction: Strabane.
