Prediction: BBOB
Beragh Swifts v Irish Street
The Swifts have two potential match winners in Gary Dixon and Michael Brown who were both on the score sheet in their 3-3 draw last week. They will fancy their chances at home.
Irish Street were hammered 7-0 last week so this may be a case of keeping the score respectable.
Prediction: Beragh Swifts
Limavady Rugby Football Club v Armagh Rovers
The Roesiders got off to a winning start with a 5-2 away win at new club Kick Start where they had five players on the score sheet which augurs well for the season.

Lurgan United v Foyle Wanderers
The home side are in the Third Division of the Mid Ulster league which wouldn’t be a great standard but they do have home advantage which has to be a help,.
They did win against Hillsboro Boys last time out.
Wanderers are a quality side who showed that they are determined to retain their title.
Tthey will, however, be missing the talented David Scanlon who is on cricket duties but they should be good enough.
Prediction: Foyle Wanderers
Taughmonagh YN v Claudy Rovers
