St Laurence's v BMC: Poor old BMC Utd are finding the going tough and it wont get any easier against the Louth men. Verdict - St Laurence's.

DIVISION 3A

Boca Rovers v Donacarney: Games in hand are no good unless you win them. Boca need to start here. Verdict - Boca.

Bailieboro v Rathkenny: The draw specialists in this division, but Rathkenny's tight defence might make the difference. Verdict - Rathkenny.

DIVISION 3B

Castle Villa v Trim Town: The lights will be the only bright spots in Moynalty on Thursday night. Expect a dour contest. Verdict - Castle Villa.

Inny Wanderers v Fordrew: The bottom two teams will probably share four goals and go home happy. Verdict - draw.

Sheelin v Knightsbrook: Sheelin have scored plenty of goals, letting them in is the problem. Verdict - Knightsbrook.
