There are two games in the second round of the Junior Cup this Saturday with two games in the Premier Division also down for decision.

Junior Cup

Lincoln Courts v Greysteel

The Courts are on a winning roll and are scoring goals for fun, they fancy themselves to go all the way in this competition and they certainly are capable of doing just that.

The home side had a good win against Portstewart Olympic in the previous round, however their main priority is to gain promotion to the First Division.

Prediction: Lincoln Courts.

Magherafelt Reds v Ardmore

The Reds defeated Irish Street in the previous round and with home advantage they will fancy their chances.

Ardmore are playing their best football in recent weeks and although they look out of the running to retain the Premiership title this cup would be a good consolation prize.

Prediction: Ardmore.

Premier Division

Caw v Newbuildings Utd Res

Can the men from Nelson Drive pull off a Houdini act and remain in the top flight, they certainly deserve to with their enthusiasm and organisation.

The wheels have come off the Newbuildings wagon since the break, this may end all square.

Prediction: Score Draw.

Donemana v Dungiven Res

The Tyrone men conceded six last week as their season goes from bad to worse, they are playing with no confidence and it looks certain that they will be relegated.

The visitors on their day are a more than useful side who play good football, if they are at full strength they may collect the points.

Prediction: Dungiven Res.
