United look to get back to winning ways By Carl Purvis

Limavady United will be looking to bounce back from last week’s defeat when they travel to Belfast to take on Newington YC. The Roesiders went down 3-0 to PSNI, who now sit level on points at the top of the NIFL Championship 2 with a game in hand on Paul Owens’ men. Elsewhere in the Championship 2, Moyola Park will be looking to build on last week’s win at Coagh when Dundela visit Mill Meadow. Tobermore United entertain Banbridge Town, with both sides going into the game level on points and eight adrift of the leaders. In the Ballymena & Provincial Intermediate League Premier Division, Newtowne will be looking to extend their lead at the top when lowly Rathcoole make the trip over the Glenshane Pass. Newtowne demolished Magherafelt Sky Blues last week, and will fancy their chances of boosting their goal difference further tomorrow. The Sky Blues make the relatively short trip to Chimney Corner, who themselves went down to Brantwood last week. The Sky Blues have been in indifferent form all season, and tomorrow’s fixture could well go either way. Elsewhere in the division, Desertmartin play host to Killymoon Rangers. There’s plenty of action in the North West Junior League this weekend, with Drummond United playing host to basement boys BBOB in the Premier Division. Claudy Rovers host Lincoln Courts, and Ardmore travel to Greysteel fresh off the back of an impressive win over Foyle Wanderers last week. In the First Division, Irish Street are at home to Roe Rovers, and Burnfoot entertain Claudy United. There is also one City Cup tie brought forward, with Draperstown Celtic travelling to Ringsend.
