Championship decider weekend for contenders

Leaders Coleraine know if they secure two wins over their nearest championship challengers Brigade this weekend, then the champagne will well and truly be put on ice.

At the other end things are just as tight, with bottom side Bready knowing they need to match seventh place Glendermott’s result, to ensure they have a chance of avoiding the dropping.

Currently sitting a point behind fellow strugglers Glendermott, who they entertain in their final league game in a few weeks ago, know that game will more than likely be a winner takes all encounter.

Brigade v Coleraine

The first of a double header between the top two they meet again in Coleraine on Sunday.

The Bannsiders have a two point cushion but they know that a defeat in this one will put additional pressure on them, after a small blip two weeks ago they have bounced back with two big wins, the title has been their aim all season.

Brigade to know that this is their chance to put some silverware on the table, they have probably the strongest pace bowlers in the league and that good make a big difference, a game not to be missed with the home side a tentative selection.

Prediction: Brigade.

Fox Lodge v Strabane

The Foxies blew their outside chance of the title in that horror show at Beechgrove last Saturday, their pride has been hurt and they will be determined to show that was a one off.

The Red Caps are anxiously looking over their shoulders as they could still be involved in at least a play off, they have lost their last four games and with a trip to Donemana in the last game they need a win.

Prediction: Fox Lodge.

Glendermott v Donemana

The Bonds Street men are making a real fist of remaining in the Premier Division, they had a good win at Strabane and were very close to defeating Donemana on the Sunday.

Girvon Christion has come good with the bat in those games and they will be looking for another big performance in their last two games.

Donemana have moved out of the bottom three and could still finish in third spot, Senior Cup winners and a Faughan Valley Cup final to look forward to this has been another good season, they have also brought more outstanding talent through with the McClintock twins and William McBrine the future looks bright.

Prediction: Donemana.

Eglinton v Bready

The Villagers know that they are taking on a side who are fighting for Premiership survival, but that will make them even more determined to get another two points on the board.

Bready entertain Glendermott in their last game of the season but this is the one that matters for a win here and a victory in their last game could see them at worst get a play off spot.

Prediction: Bready.
