WEEKEND PREVIEW
South Antrim v NICS
An important game for 1s tomorrow as they travel to Stormont to take on Civil Service. A win here could take the men within a point of 6th place. The last time out the Lisburn men stormed into a 2 goal lead before being pegged back to a 2-2 draw late in the game. They’ll have to do it this time without the industrious midfielder Ward Phillips, who is unavailable. 2.30pm hit off.
South Antrim 2nds v Bangor 2nds
Bangor 2nds are have a fantastic season, second in Junior 1 only to Garvey 2nds. Ian’s men have hit form recently too and will look to take another scalp tomorrow. Since the 1sts have an important game, it is likely they’d raid the 2nds for talent to bolster their squad. Ian could be left light, but he’ll his motivtional skills to rouse his men to give a great performance no matter what. Home at 1pm.
South Antrim 3rds v Cliftonville 2nds
A rearranged game that was flooded off earlier in the season here. this team is well adrift of the pack in the lower end of Junior 4, surely easy pickings for the 3rds. Paddy Power are offering good odds on an George Glass goal. Away at 4pm.
South Antrim 4ths v Down 1sts
Down are joint top of the league but are just 3 points ahead of South in 3rd. If this game goes well, promotion is a real possibility for Graeme Alister’s men. Surely career goal number 300 must be close for Alan Hamilton Junior? Already has 23 to his name this season, he is definitely the 4ths key player. Away at 1.30pm.
South Antrim 5ths v Antrim 3rds
Trevor’s men drew 2-2 to Antrim 3rds in the League Cup group stage at the start of the season and he was absolutely livid. He will want a win this time out. Antrim are 3 points and a place below the 5ths so there is no room for error.
South Antrim Ladies v Ballynahinch Ladies
They started their Senior 4 Cup with a 1-0 to Inst last week. This competition works in a strange way so I’m not sure what they need to progress, surely a win would help. I think a lot of the school girls are away on a School Trip so this may be a make shift team.
South Antrim Ladies 2nds v South Antrim Ladies 3rds
We love a good derby game here at South Antrim. Though i doubt there will be as much action as THAT game between the mens’ 2nds and 3rds two years ago. The Ladies will surely conduct themselves with more etiquette?… I haven’t heard any trash talk yet anyway.
