WEEKEND PREVIEW
South Antrim v Portadown (A) UPL
The old Senior 1 rivalry rears its head again. Portadown have had an excellent debut season in the Premier League, whilst South have struggled somewhat. Things weren’t helped by Paddy Cochrane leaving for university and Simon Watt leaving to become a dad but the boys were still more than well enough equiped to make a mark in this league. There’s time yet to climb the table but they will have to concede far less and score far more to see that happen. The turn around begins tomorrow, away to Portadown (1pm). Even if they don’t get the result, an improved performance will be encouraging.
South Antrim 2nds v Annadale 2nds (H) J1
Ian Glass has a small squad for this game as a lot of players are missing. If we’re honest, expectations are low but hey, no one thought he’d get his team the IJC quarter final!
South Antrim 3rds v Cookstown 5ths (A) J4
Ashley Sloan heads west to take on Cookstown 4ths. A win is needed to keep up the pressure on Dale, their title rivals. Cookstown are bottom of the table so the odds are favourable.
South Antrim 4ths v Derg Valley 1sts (H) J5
The 4ths are 3 points off 2nd, which is a play off spot. So all eyes will be on Stu ‘Sharpshooter’ Glenn, he must score the goals to make his a win and make the dream of promotion a reality.
South Antrim 5ths v Lisnagarvey 6ths (H) J5
Another visit from our friendly neighbours, Trevor will be hoping to end the voodoo of a recent string of defeats against Garvey that stretches throughout the club. The 5ths are lingering at the bottom end of the table so this is the ideal time to bring the run.
South Antrim Ladies v Instonians Ladies (H) S4
The Ladies 1sts are the only Ladies club in action tomorrow when they take on Instonians. Inst, like their male counterparts are top of the table and cruising. the girls got a good result against this team in the first leg, a 1-1 draw. Lauren Boomer was the heroine with the goal that day, can she do it again?
South Antrim Ladies 2nds v Victorians 2nds (H) MP
South Antrim Ladies 3rds v Owls 2nds (H) MP
