However he must depend on the teams above them slipping up, that said they must keep winning them selves and they should do that here.
Prediction: Ardmore

Hide AdThe men from Nelson Drive put up a good performance in their defeat by BBOB last week and that should give them a bit of confidence for the remainder of the season, although another couple of wins would help their cause.
Wanderers lie second in the table and they know that they can’t afford any slip-ups if they are to maintain their title challenge.
They have a lot of quality in their ranks and will be favourites to collect the points.
Prediction: Foyle Wanderers.
Lincoln Courts v Irish Street
Third from bottom verses bottom in this one, the Courts although in a disappointing place in the division have a good cushion from the two sides in the relegation spots however a win here would ease all their worries.
