WEEKEND PREVIEW:
South Antrim v Newry
The men in Red and Black travel to take on the men Black and Red. A victory would mean breathing space between South and the bottom 3 in the Premier League, Newry being one of them. The lad defeated Newry by just a solitary goal in the Kirk Cup meeting, it’ll be a different game this time about out on the sandy Newry Olympic pitch.
South Antrim 3rds v Cliftonville 2nds
The boys will look to maintain their 100% record in Junior 4 when they travel to Cliftonville. They are, however, without captain and keeper Ashley Sloan. But with other such authoritative seniors such as George Glass and Stephen Hood, some one is sure to be shouting on the pitch.
South Antrim 4ths v South Antrim 5ths
The big one, El Clasico, the battle to end all battles. Where Trevor’s youthful style meets Gaz’s laissez faire attitude. Hamilton vs McElhinney. Bragging rights are there to be won. The two teams are level on points at this early stage in the season. Sure to be a corker, 5pm hit off at FSL.
South Antrim Ladies 1sts v Ards 3rds
South Ladies travel to Newtownards in the Intermediate Cup, Which is somewhere between the Beginner Cup and the Expert Cup. Off the back of a hard earned draw against Inst the Ladies might fancy their chances in this one.
South Antrim Ladies 3rds v Queens Ladies 5ths
The newly formed Ladies 3rds’ second game ever is in the Minor Cup, against Queens Ladies 5ths. It may be possible that South put out the only team in the country younger than Queens’ team of Student, with the majority of the girl being of school age.
