Danske Bank Premiership
Dungannon Swifts v Institute
Saturday, 3pm, Dungannon

Entering into the final few days of preseason in the lead-up to the upcoming Danske Bank Premiership term, Paul Kee's preparations are almost up ahead of his side's opening fixture away to Dungannon Swifts on Saturday.

Having registered his players for the much-anticipated encounter, new signings Lee Toland, Thomas McBride and Matthew Young are sure to bolster the team this weekend, along with last year's stars including Michael McCrudden, Darren McCauley, and Stephen O'Flynn, whose services have all been retained.

The Sky Blues look set to take the top flight by storm after completing a highly successful preseason period which included nine wins, one draw, and just two losses in all twelve friendly matches over the past month - with support being the only disappointment, though increased turnouts are expected once the competitive season kicks-off.

See Thursday's Derry News for the full rundown of the Institute squad and all the build up to Saturday.
