CHALLENGE CUP

Albion v Trim Celtic - Trim Celtic have enough in their armoury to sneak a victory in this tricky assignment. Verdict: Trim Celtic.

Bohermeen v Clones Town - Despite having home advantage the visitors from Monaghan could have too much in reserve for their opponents. Verdict: Clones Town.

Knightsbrook v Carrick - Word has it Knightsbrook could be without a few players. The Meath side shocked Carrick last season and lightning rarely strikes twice. Verdict: Carrick.

PREMIER

Torro v Duleek - Torro had little joy against Trim Celtic last week. Duleek should ensure that they take nothing from this game. Verdict: Duleek.

Trim Celtic v Ardee - Second match for Trim Celtic in four days. Bound to be a drain on the legs. Verdict: draw.

DIV 1

Bellurgan v Robinstown - After their controversial win last week Robinstown can claim this one. Verdict: Robinstown.

Longwood v Skryne/Tara - Both sides are weakened but Skryne/Tara could edge a win. Verdict: Skryne/Tara.

Navan Town v Slane - Buoyed up with their heroics in the cup Navan Town may edge this one. Verdict: Navan Town.

DIV 2

Kells Celtic v Boyne Harps - While they won last week Kells Celtic may have to settle for a draw in this tie. Verdict: draw.

BMC v Electro - Both teams have shown some mixed form this season. That suggests one result. Verdict: draw.

OMP v Parkvilla - OMP's impressive victory over Kentstown last week indicates they have hit on a purple patch. Verdict: OMP.

Kells/Blackwater v St Laurence's - As they domonstrated again with their win over BMC it's going to take something special to stop Kells/Blackwater. Verdict: Kells/Blackwater.

Black Bull v Park Celtic Summerhill - Black Bull at the top of the division. Park Celtic Summerhill are at the other end. Verdict: Black Bull.

Rossin v Kentstown - After last week's defeat Kentstown could hardly have asked for an easier assignment. Verdict: Kentstown.

DIV 3A

Johnstown v Kingscourt - The Meath side are well capable of digging out a decent result against the table-toppers. Verdict: draw.

Rathkenny v Boca Rovers - Rathkenny just can't finish off teams, it seems. Boca have shown they are well capable of delivering the knock-out blow. Verdict: Boca Rovers.

Donacarney v Abbey Celtic - Shouldn't be too much between these two sides at the end of gruelling 90 minutes. Verdict: draw.

Mosney v Bailieboro - Both sides could do with a morale-boosting win. Mosney might do enough to pick up three points. Verdict: Mosney.

DIV 3B

Fordrew v Athboy - There's sure to be plenty of bite in the tackles in this local derby. Fordrew will make it difficult but Athboy look to have too many options. Verdict: Athboy.

Inny Wanderers v Castle Villa - Castle Villa have a golden chance here to take a step away from the relegation mire. Verdict: Castle Villa.

Oldcastle v Enfield - This will be close all the way to the end. Verdict: draw.

Trim Town v Sheelin - Home advantage could help Trim Town pick up a valuable point here. Verdict: draw.
